I Just LOVE Cardio Appointments

Things seemed to be fine after her cath until we went to her next cardiologist appointment. The cardiologist thought that her LPA didn’t look as good as it should and wanted to see her for another Echo in a couple of months instead of about 6-12 months. When we went back a few months later he still didn’t like the look of the LPA and it did not appear to be getting any better so he decided that it would be best to have another Lung Perfusion scan done. The lung perfusion scan was set up and we went to the appointment. Because Anniek is a heart baby they have a very hard time getting an IV line for while she was sedated, when the nurses finally got a line we went down to get the scan done, but when they went to put the dye in they found out that they had lost the IV line. When they tried getting a new line Anniek woke up from the sedation, so we had to reschedule. I was so frustrated! We were lucky enough to be able to get another date for another attempt at the Lung scan the next week! Two weeks later we went to the cardiologist and we got the results of the scan. I was not surprised to hear that he was not happy with the numbers that the scan showed. Having seen a couple of the scans done before I was pretty sure that the scan didn’t look like the doctor would be pleased about it.
