Dustin and I took Dagney to his pediatric cardiologist appointment yesterday, which wasn't that nerve wrecking as much as I thought it might be. She did an ultrasound on his heart which went pretty smooth considering towards the end of it Dagney was getting really fussy and squirmed around a lot, but I fed him and it kept him still to get some more pictures. She said his heart looks PERFECT! That hole that they discovered at 3 days old has closed nicely so we don't need to be concerned anymore. What a relief! We did mention to her the heart defect that Dustin's Father had and died from in his early 50's and she said IF anything shows up in Dustin(the heart defect shows up when you are older and is hereditary) to bring Dagney back in to see her and she will refer us to the cardiologist team at Sick Kid's Hospital down in Toronto. He will be monitored if that is the case. But other than that nothing needs to be done and just hope all is well from here on out with his heart. This is such great news and I am soo beyond happy that his hole has closed and his heart is perfect. With all the health problems he has had since day one of being born everything is starting to go the right way and fall into place. As a mother this makes any bad day into a whole bunch of happy ones.
what a relief!! such great news :)
