August Cardiology Appointment

We had a regular ole cardiology appointment today and got ultrasounds of Job's arteries ans his diaphragm.

We will be alternating appointments for the foreseeable future: single ventricle clinic (August), transplant clinic (September), SV + echo (October), TX (November), SV (December), TX + echo (January) and so on. Monthly appointments and echos every three months.

It's sad to be back on this schedule after just two every-three-month appointments, but we're used to it (and if we do get a transplant we'll be back to our old once a week schedule).

These appointments will just provide monitoring and probably mean med dose changes as the two teams work to titrate Job's meds to keep him as stable as possible.

SCH staff/doctors/nurses as always make each appointment as pleasant as possible and we are so grateful for this special hospital. It was early enough in the day that we even went out to play at the playground for a bit between appointments and Job had a blast fast walking around the structures (even if he did keep asking for his brothers to play with him - apparently I'm not quite as enjoyable company as they are).
