Follow up from Kierra's Cardiologist appointment

Kierra jumping on Jackson's Trampoline. She bounces and says "bop bop bop"

So Yesterday I took Kierra to the cardiologist for her follow up on her high blood pressure. The verdict is high blood pressure medication. She is on Enaplapril or also known as Vasotec.

We went in and they did her pressures and they are still high so she did an Echo cardiogram. They were unsure if she would sit still due to her age. They popped in some baby Einstein and she sang and danced with it while they did her Echo.

Good news is her heart looks great. Bad news is she still has high blood pressure and we don't know why. The Cardiologist said it could be just because of her Coarctation but she wants to rule out kidney problems.

So on January 20th she will be sedated and they will do tests on her kidney.

Please keep Kierra in your thoughts and prayers that everything will be OK !!!

Skyler has been so happy that school has been closed. He starts Gonzaga basketball camp on Sunday and is way excited.

Great talking to you Amy!!!So glad Kierra's heart is okay. I know she will be okay !!! It's good they are checking out everything!!!!! I love the picture of Kierra on Jackson's trampoline !!!!! She is such a happy baby. I still can't believe all the snow you guys have had. That is unbelieveable for Spokane. Also, it is hard to believe they have closed school so much. When Dad and I lived there school was only closed once. It's cold in Heidelberg, it's 15 degrees today. The kids come to school but don't get any recess so I get a 15 min lunch everyday. The kids feel like they are in cages!!!! I'll call this weekend. Tell Skyler I want to find out all about his Gonzaga Basketball Camp. Give all my grandkids loves and hugs. Dad is getting very excited about returning home in March. He isn't looking forward to the long plane ride though.

Love mum and dad will call this weekend Going to the movies tonight and dinner and on Sat going to the play, Throughly Modern Millie.
