Hey there everyone! Blogger is still not letting me post pictures! What is the deal?! I don't know. I have my sister on the job. Any who, we went to the cardiologist today. What an appointment.... Normally, Brady is very happy and doesn't really mind doctors. Patrick is a little more fussy, and needs to be consoled a little more. Not today. Brady lost his mind today! He did well up until she had to take 8 sticky leads off of his chest. Then the tears started, which then lead to screams and his whole body in sweats, and beat red skin. Oh my goodness. I even tried Sweet-ease, and he could care less. They were able to get an EKG on him. She said that he looked good, and she didn't think that he needed an echo, or any surgery. Great. My little Patrick was a champ today. Craig said he didn't even cry. He just took his snack while she did the echo. He did great for his blood pressure and EKG too. It was like Bizarro Connor kids today. Freaky Friday, only Monday. She said that Patrick's PDA didn't close at all, and that he needs the surgery. She is going to send over the pictures to the doctor at Joe Dimaggio, and he would give us a call about setting up an appointment. She said they normally keep them for a day or two depending on how they do. She said they would like him to be a little bigger, but if they think it is serious enough, they will do it anyway. He was a big 10 pounds 5 ounces today. He needs to be 11 pounds. So close! Brady was 14 pounds, 3 pounces, hahaha. She said he looks very good otherwise. She said that now that he is bigger, she had to take a minute to figure out who was who! She said once he has the surgery, he will bulk up fast. Right now he is staying little because his heart is working way harder than it should, so he is burning calories big time. She said afterwards, he should plump up, and look just like Brady. Oh boy, I am going to have to get a second job to pay for these kids to eat! Hahaha.
I 'll keep you update on the situation. This surgery, god willing, should be our last bad situation for my little man!
Still working on pics everyone! Sorry!
Em, Craig, Brady and Patrick
