Doctors, doctors, and more doctors....

Today was Elliott's echocardiogram and for the most part Elliott did a superb job! He started to cry when the technician put the ultrasound wand at the bottom of his adams apple. I was able to talk him through some breathing exercises and counting games and they seemed to work. The technician seemed very thorough and stayed a long time looking at his left atrium. She even went to get another technician. I did not get a very good feeling about this. His left atrium looked really large and his left looked small. There was red and blue mixed in on both sides. I know from previous tests, that's not a good sign. But I am going to remain positive. The technician told us that the cardiologist will have the results by next Thursday. I pray everything is alright. I don't know what we will do if they aren't. Next Thursday isn't too long to wait, I will try to keep my mind busy. That should be easy to do since Robbie now has strep and I need to get my AVID program binders ready for certification by May 17th. I am hoping to go back to work on Friday, everything depends on how Robbie is progressing. He needs to start eating and drinking again. He actually had a few spoonfuls of babyfood but now won't drink from his bottle. I think it is because his throat hurts. His fever seems to be down right now. Hopefully, it stays down. I will probably need to go into work on Saturday. I hope that John can take care of the kids. I really need to go in. I will keep you informed as I get informed.
