CHANGE IN PLANS


Dec 7, 2012:
We followed up with Dr. Pinto and she confirmed that everything on the echo looked great and she said she didn't see William needing surgery for many many years or even not at all depending on how his Right Ventricle did. I was about to leave and make an appointment for a couple months later but remembered another question. I was given a paper to fill out before my appt that it asked if William had experienced any type of fast breathing. I brought this up with Dr. Pinto and said that occasionally William would breath fast. I hadn't been too worried it. I remebmered London breathing fast when she was a baby just because their heart rates are so much quicker than ours so I assumed it was not related to his heart. I wanted to make sure though. She watched him breath for a minute and said that we should probably have an xray on his lungs taken. We headed over to take the xray and then Dr Pinto called us later that day to tell us the results. They found fluid in his lungs and they needed to do a heart cath to find out why.

I don't know if it was the spirit prompting me to ask the question but it was a huge tender mercy that we did otherwise the heart cath never would have been done.
