First Cardiologist Appt

For the past 24 hours,
Jing has had some chest pain on the left side.
She would clutch herself and look at me with a hurting face.
You can well imagine all the things I feared
and called Sibley Heart Group to talk with a cardiologist.

Dr. Lindsey called me right back
and spent a long time with me on the phone last night
and again this morning.
Finally he said he thought it would be good
if she came in for a check up.
I couldn't agree more!!!

After an EKG and Echo cardiogram,
he confirmed what he suspected:
reduce meds, maybe a little dehydrated,
and post surgery pain.
I just needed to hear it in person I guess to feel at ease.
There is one other issue we may have to visit
in the coming weeks
so we will be seeing him every week for a while.
SO thankful for Dr. Lindsey!!!

We stopped at Chick-fil-a on the way home
and grabbed lunch~
this is the happy girl eating her chicken nuggets.
One of the other things Dr. L recommended
was keeping the pain meds steady through the weekend.
Not a fun task but when all is said and done,
we are off to play outside...
and the jeep was the first toy they run to!
Needed to stop for a little hydrating break.
Looking forward to a wonderful homecoming weekend~
both high school and our family.
We will all be together
and hopefully get our first family pic made!!!
ALL the chicks will be in the nest tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. She looks fantastic. It's hard to believe she had such a major surgery only a week ago. I was in Athens this weekend, visiting my daughter and thinking of you. I'd love to catch up with you again one day and meet the little girls, I don't think I've seen you since shortly before you brought EllaKate home. I'm so happy ya'll are home and life is getting back to normal for you. Continued prayers for you.
