Mimi's....as in screamin mimi's. That's one of the names we have for the girls, but Emily tends to be more of the screamer so the nickname refers to just her most of the time.
So, today Emily got to hang out with mom & dad while Ellery played at daycare. I'm sure they both were loving the individual attention....except that Emily's was for a Dr appointment. Today was Emily's appointment at Doernbecher to see the pediatric cardiologist about her heart mumur. While the Dr was able to confirm the fact that there is a murmur she wasn't able to tell us very much. So we now are going back in two weeks for an Echo. While I'm happy that the echo should be able to really give a good picture of Emily's heart, they have to sedate her so she will be still. They tried to do an EKG today and Emily wiggled and kicked all over the place. Hello....she's a baby!!!! I feel like she's way too young to be sedated and I'm nervous about a lot of things but I know that really it's the only way we'll get a quality picture of her heart. A lot of my concerns come from when she was in the Nicu...apnea spells, low oxygen levels, the list goes on....but I have to remember - it's been a long time since then and she's a lot bigger and stronger now. The Dr's still say there is nothing else indicating problems, so the fact that there is a murmur may not be that big of a deal. The Dr and nurse both told me not to worry about anything but I actually think because they said that it's caused me to worry MORE. I'm sure it's all going to be fine and hopefully we'll get some answers very soon.
