Friday, 6/23/06- Cardio Appt

We had an appointment with her cardiologist today. He is a great doctor (one of our favorites). He was impressed at how well she has done at home thus far. Her O2 sat number wasn't great but I told him at home when we watch it at night it is higher. He was also a little concerned with her elavated blood pressure. It is running a little higher than he would like. He wants to increase her heart meds a little but he will consult with her pulmonologist and the pharmacist before he makes any changes. Its important that the cardiologist and the pulomonologist work closely together because it is the combination of her heart and lung problems that have her on the vent, not one more than the other. Overall, he felt that she is doing good and he doesn't feel that he needs to see her until December unless Dr. S wants an echo or a repeat heart cath done before then.

The little Minnie-skirt outfit she wore today was absolutely adorable! Thanks Aunt Lynda!
