1st Single Ventricle Visit
We went to our first single ventricle clinic visit this past Tuesday and it went relatively well. The problem was that I had a 7:30am appointment and was not see until 10am. Then Stockton's 9am appointment was pushed back to noon. It was sort of a nightmare but we had to do it. Stockton had an echo, an x-ray and an EKG. The doctors discovered that his tricuspid valve is leaking a little. (Meaning some blood flow is going the wrong way then pools then goes out the right way.) The increased his Propanolol to see if that would help. The doctors said this is a common finding but they like to see it very minimal and Stockton's is moderate. Everything but that seemed to check out. Stockton weighs a whopping 8.8 pounds. He is doing so well at home. His schedule could be a little better but we are working on it. We have another visit in two weeks.
