Cardiology

Emmett had his Cardiology appointment this morning. It went really well! :) I was very impressed with how well Emmett did. He had a limited echo done and he did really great, we brought a movie and he just laid there and watched the movie. The echo showed that he has mild leakage from his Aortic valve and Mitral valve. Dr. Su said that they are not going to do anything to the Artial Septum, they are going to leave it alone for now. They are using the Atrial Septum for better blood flow and if the Mitral Valve's function ever slowed down then the atrial septum would still let the blood flow where it needs to go. He also said that they probably wont have to do anything surgical wise until he's older and that will depend on the leakage that he is having. And the most exciting news, wait for it..................... We don't have to go back for a YEAR!
