Cardiologist Appt

Since Drew was not acting like his usual self on the 4th of July and a few days after that, I decided that he needed to get in to see Dr. Orie. I was thinking the worst and fearing that maybe we would need to have the 3rd surgery sooner or that maybe he had a leaky valve. All sorts of things were running through my mind when he was excessively tired and not his wild child self. His Cardiologists office is wonderful and got him right in. He had an echo done (Drew was not to pleased about the echo) and the function of his heart remains the same. So at this point that is good. They wanted to get and EKG on him, but he REFUSED! He was not the most cooperative patient. Dr. Orie said that he was just an active toddler and his body was letting him know that he needed to slow down. He said that if his body is telling him to sleep or rest than it is OK. We will just watch and see what Drew needs and if he needs to slow down then we will make sure he does. Dr. Orie did let us know that Drew will probably get a pacemaker put in during his 3rd surgery.
Everyday is a new adventure or worry with Drew. He sure keeps us on our toes!
