Logan and I went to Gundersen on Friday morning for his echocardiogram. He did so well! The doctor had an emergency the night before and wasn't there yet. We waited a bit and she gave the go ahead to the cardio radiologist and the peds sedation nurse to go ahead and see what we could get done without sedation until she got there (he needs to be basically completely still for 45-60min to get all the pictures needed), since the dr. needs to (or maybe just likes to?) be there when little people are under those meds. We were armed with Elmo on the TV, books, his blanket, some spinning lighted wands, an observer with a cool iPad that had Wheels on the Bus and other fun stuff on it and some Dum Dum suckers for last resort. He got a little antsy at times but did fabulous and they got what they needed. He was rewarded with some apple juice in a can ("my jus!" when I tried to open it) and some graham crackers since he couldn't eat anything since supper Thursday night.
Dr. Maclellan, the radiologist, and the guy with the iPad looked all the images over once done. They talked about all the normalcy they saw, nothing jumped out as being wrong! So, they concluded that he actually just has a very strong heart with strong vibrations that can sound off and similar to murmurs. So, no holes that need to be closed up! Great news.
