UPDATE:

Just got the results. His heart is fine :)


So Mcabearooni was complaining of chest pains ("it feels like someone is pulling on my heart") for three days....before dear old Mom and Dad decided to do something about it. On Monday....we went to the pediatrician....who weighed him, took his temperature....checked his blood pressure....listened with a stethoscope for a while...and sent us to the hospital for a chest x-ray and an EKG. That night we were told that his EKG showed abnormalities and an appointment was made with a pediatric cardiologist. On Wednesday...he was examined by two very nice but VERY serious doctors for two very long hours and given another EKG. This one showed no signs of abnormalities. An innocent heart murmur was detected and an echo cardiogram was scheduled for the next day...Thursday. We still have not gotten the results. I hate waiting for medical report week-ends.

Oh yea, Bradley also had a doctor's visit due to chest heaviness & pain. He had a hospital visit this week also. Chest x-ray...echocardiogram. Awaiting his results too.

They do not think Brad's mitral valve and tri cuspid valve regurge's have anything to do w/ Mcabe's pain. Hopefully....it's nothing more than muscular skeletal growing pains in the rib cage area...or a strain.

I'm sure we will know tomorrow. If not, Mama's gonna be tempted to lose it on someone.

I'm not the best with medical stuff. I'm one of the ones who needs a brown paper bag to breath into while her head is between her knees....which have turned into jello. Especccciiiiaaaalllllyyyyyyy when it involves one of the kids.
