Getting to the heart of the matter.
Zachary had his Pediatric Cardiologist appointment today since he had a borderline irregular EKG. The first thing they did was take another EKG. After listening to Zachary's heart, feeling his pulse, and reading the EKG the doctor concluded that there is absolutely nothing to worry about. That is a relief. He also looked surprised that his Endocrinologist said there can be a connection between cardiac problems and growth issues. But, once he heard who the Endo is, he looked impressed that we are using her and had only good things to say.
What is different on Zachary's EKG? Let me see if I can figure out how to say this. The electric "current" that goes from the top chamber to the bottom chamber to signal the heart to beat (I think I'm getting this right) is supposed to take something like .140 milliseconds. His only takes .085 milliseconds. So, he has fast electricity? or something like that. But, since nothing else is "off" on his EKG it's nothing to be concerned about. |

Just wanted to say Hi and Thanks
| I justed wanted to stop by and tell you thanks. I read your blog to gleen info about Tourettes. We will be seeing the specialist at Children's Hopital in Kansas City to see if that is Herogian's challenge, or if it is allergies. The throat clearing and HMMM that occur every 3 -5 seconds, is tough. |
