A Date With Cardiology

Just a quick post to let you all know that Josh is doing well. He's staying healthy and seems to be finally putting on some weight. I haven't had him weighed recently but it seems like he's starting to put some meat on his bones...he doesn't seem quite a skinny as he used to a month or two ago.

I received a phone call from the Cardiology dept. at CHEO on Thursday and Josh's Cardiology follow-up has been booked for July 23. This will include a non-sedated echo, an ECG and then an appointment with Dr. Gow. I was surprised to hear that Dr. Gow had asked for a non-sedated echo. I'm all for not sedating Josh if we don't have to but I'll be very surprised if Josh will willing lay on the bed for the 45min. to 1 hour that's needed to complete the echo, never mind having to let a stranger put goop on his chest and slide a wand all around in the process. Yeah, I don't see that going over too well. But we'll see. Maybe he will surprise me.

I'm looking forward to getting this echo behind us and hopefully having the ability to go another year before his next follow-up. I'll be sure to keep you posted on how it goes.
