As always she was seen by not only her regular cardiologist and an Echo Technician, she was seen by a student, a Cardiac Nurse and a couple more Echo Techs. McMaster is one of the top hospitals in our province and it is also a teaching hospital. Adryanna has a rare defect with a rare repair done to it. She is the perfect teacher:)
I knew something was different when the Echo was being done because she spent a lot more time than usual and I didn't think it was simply because the student was there. This wasn't a first and they never take long. Then the Tech went and got another and there was low talking and pointing. They couldn't be totally sure where the device that was used to close her defect was. It was hard to see and as it turns out isn't totally blocking the blood flow through the tunnel like it should.
Once we got to talk to her cardiologist we found out that they can see and hear some pretty significant flow through the device. They could see a little last time but it was more this time. They are not too concerned about it. She did a 24hr Holter Monitor three weeks ago and that was totally normal. The only real change to her treatment plan is instead of waiting a year to see her again they will see her in six months instead. Until then she will continue to live life, taking aspirin daily and antibiotics before any trips to the dentist. She still has no restrictions and no worries. That is what we always want to hear!
