Unsettled

We went this morning. The doctor seemed very confident. He listened to his heart and lungs. Told us he was ordering an Eko (sp?) and we were able to sit in on that. It was basically a sonogram of his heart. We were able to see that everything was functioning correctly. Blood was flowing in the proper directions. Valves were doing their job. We were told everything looked great.

Wrapping it up, the doctor told us that he felt that sons heart was nothing but healthy. He said he felt we had misinformation from the pediatrician and that HE was the specialist. He wanted JR to resume all normal activity without restriction.

Up to this point I felt pretty comfortable in this doctor. Then he hands us a photocopy of some newspaper article stating that 20% of chest pains go undiagnosed. He didn't have answers. Then he said he wanted to put him on a holster monitor for the next 24hrs.

So dear son got all hooked up and now we wait.

After leaving the office I started analyzing, perhaps over-analyzing this appointment and now I have a pit in my stomach. They have done several tests. This doctor was... well borderline arrogant. He told us JR is fine and the Ped. Doctor was wrong. But afterwards puts him on monitor for the 24hrs. I'd really he rather be safe than sorry and am glad he is doing the test, however, his actions spoke louder than words if you know what I mean.

It will be the end of the week, beginning of next before we learn the results of the monitor he's wearing today.

I really appreciate everyone's posts and emails. Thank you so much!

And to all you moma's- I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday! You all deserve it my friends.

O goodness. Doctors really irritate me. We went through similar stuff when Faith was having issues that no one could explain.

They told us "she's fine, but we want to do this one more test..." I don't know how many times.

It gets old fast.

But they are only human too, I guess.

I hope they find out what exactly is going on, and it is easy to remedy!

I hope the tests come back okay, or at least let you know what the problem is, if there is one. (((hug)))
