Thad had his yearly cardiologist checkup yesterday. Overall his heart looks great! Dr Brames saw a little narrowing on his aortic arch that has narrowed a little more since last year. It wasn't enough to alarm our cardio just yet but he thinks Thad could need something done in the next few years. The spot where it is narrowed is a little tricky to balloon but we'll cross that bridge later. His mitral valve is actually looking better than last year which is fantastic news.
Thad's least favorite part is the blood pressure and EKG stickers. Poor guy always panics during this part. But he's tough and gets through it!
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Brames. He is so good with kids and so patient.
For the past 3 years after he listens to his heart Thad has to listen to his heart. He meats tells him "your heart sounds pretty good"
We go back in another year with no restrictions. I always get nervous before his appointments but he is doing great so I shouldn't worry. We are so blessed he is doing so good.
