Cardiologist

Yesterday we took Eli for his annual cardiologist appointment. He has been going for a couple of years now since they heard a murmur and a clicking noise in his heart. The murmur is normal, a lot of people have one (including his daddy and I). The click is one of the valves that sticks a little. Again it is not anything to be concerned about, however it is something we need to continue monitoring! He has to be very careful of infection and then also has to take care of himself (no smoking, no drinking, eat healthy, etc.).

He did a great job though an EKG and ECHO! The staff even asked if he wanted to stick around and show others how to act during the tests - he declined! He helped take all the stickers off his body after the tests and claimed "it didn't hurt at all, well only a little."

His doctor didn't hear the clicking yesterday, which could be sign that the the valve is closing on it's own! Either way, we continue to monitor it and Eli is doing great!

As you can see, he was pretty relaxed as he waited!
