Trip to the Doctor's

Well Paul had his annual trip to his cardiologist. He has to go every year as he has a bi cu pis aorta, which means he has only two valves going into the heart instead of three. One of the valves has a leak so since birth the doctors have been keeping an eye on it. If the leak gets to large the doctor will have to go in and do surgery to repair it. He has also a very slow heart rate which the doctor said he would have to have a pace maker put in at sometime. Paul used to fight the whole trip as he hated going thru all the tests which actually were the less painful ones as there are no needles just a lot of wires. They do an echo plus a ekg so he gets hooked with wires and machines a couple of different times during the exam. When they hooked him up to the ekg this time he goes he's like the incredible hulk. He has decided this exam isn't as bad as his regular check ups cuz he gets poked with needle in that one.

So here's our visit.

First we go up the elevator to the doctors office.

We check in, they call us back then they weigh him and measure him. He's 5'2" and all a long I thought he was 5'.

We then go back into the exam room and they take his blood pressure and do a ekg.

The Dr. comes in ask questions, listen to his heart, and then orders a echo.

We then went back to another room where they did his echo and wait for results, which come in a couple of weeks.

The technician gave Paul a picture of his heart so now we have it on the fridge as he was really proud of this.

Thus being our trip to one of his annual trips to the one of his doctors.

And his prize for so being so good was he got his High School Musical 3 DVD which came out on the day of his appointment and he had to have.
