Before Johnny was born and I was having to go into the perinatologist (pregnancy specialist) for weekly checkups for too much fluid, the Dr. found fluid around Johnny's heart. That all subsided but when the Cardiologist saw him in the hospital just to check things out, they found an abnormally shaped aorta. His heart sounds and runs great, but because Shaun was born with a narrowing of his aorta, they are keeping a close watch on Johnny. We had our 3 month follow up this past Tuesday.
The Dr. was very optimistic and said everything looks good. He wants to see Johnny in a year just to check. I also made an appointment for Shaun to see this Dr because it has been so long since he saw an actual Cardiologist and the Dr. said it is really a good thing for Shaun to be seen every year. The Dr. also wants to see James since he has never been seen either and since what Shaun has is genetic it is best we just make sure that there isn't anything going on inside his little heart too. Here are some quick photos I snapped.
I remember taking Thomas into the Cardiologist when he was about Johnny's age. He was born with an innocent heart murmur. Because of Shaun's condition, we had him checked at a young age. But the Dr. said his heart is fine.
If there are any other additions to the family, they will be looked over as well. :)
