False Positives!

As you know Brianne had her cardiologist and vascular surgery appointment yesterday and we got good news all around! The cardiologist did another EKG and it too showed there were problems with Bri's heart. Well the cardiologist came in to talk to us and said that after reviewing her echo results from when she was in the ER he's determined the 3 EKG tests were producing false positives and that her heart was strong and healthy! He said he did detect a very slight murmur but he's not worried about it and if anyone asks to tell them she doesn't have one, that's how slight it is. And since we've heard such great things about Dr Hirsch, everyone says he's the best, I feel 100 times better. He does want to see us back in 6 months for another echo and a follow up just to be absolutely certain, but he doesn't forsee any problems. Yay!!

Then at her appointment with the vascular surgeon, the doctors were all totally shocked to see how improved her hemangioma is. They said she does not need surgery and actually told us "good job" for taking such good care of it. We follow up with them in 3 months but they too do not forsee any further problems. Woohoo!

And to top it all off, we qualified for a state program called BCMH which is for parents of children with medical handicaps (or potential medical handicaps). We are now part of their treatment plan which will pay all of our out-of-pocket expenses for the next 3 months (which means I didn't have to pay the two separate $50 copays yesterday) and anything our insurance won't pay they handle! It's about time we got some assistance!!

So now I must wake the sweet pea and get ready for work but I leave you with her 5 month sticky pic picture!
