We then went up to cardiology and checked in. He had an EKG done and did really well at leaving the probes in place and on. But once the EKG was done, those stickers were coming off. He didn't want me to help out at all, so he ripped them off himself.
The doctor came in and gave a good listen to his heart and said that it sounded like a non significant heart murmur (but would get a second opinion) and that we shouldn't be worried about it. That made me feel better. I was worried that he would have to go and get an ultrasound done on his heart. And if that was the case, they would have to sedate him. The doctor said that it sounds loud because it is probably really small, and also Tyler is thinning out and so you can hear it more louder. The doctor then left to get another doctor to come and listen.
When she came in, her comment was "your, right!! We have a sick one here. *laugh, laugh*" Of course she was just kidding and was kind of surprised that I was even there with him because he looked so good. Tyler just sat on my lap and let the doctors take a good listen to his heart (they were quite impressed with that). The second doctor said the same thing as the first doctor. She also said that it would just be mean at this point to have him go and have the ultrasound done. So she said that if Tyler's primary doctor said that it is sounding even more different to come back in...but other than that, she didn't want to see us again!!! She said most likely it would close by the time he is 4 years old. Good news again.
Turned out to be a great visit. The doctor's were great and everything went well.
Tyler hooked up to the EKG
Pulling off those dang stickers
Still wanting to do it all by himself. I finally had to get the hard to reach ones off of him.
I'm so glad he's ok! :)
