Specialist Appointment Tomorrow

Tomorrow is our appointment with the balloon angio specialist, Dr. Recto. This is going to make for a very long day, for Evan and for us. We will start at Kosair's with x-rays, always traumatic for us, I wish the techs there would try to put themselves in the parents shoes. They always upset me, making me hold him down while they figure out the machine, etc. I'm hoping that tomorrow we have a good experience in x-ray! Then off through the pedways to the cardio office. This is the office Evan was referred to when he was born, we have since switched cardio's, not for any lack of knowledge reason but, personally, we just love Dr. McOmber. Evan just loves his heart doc and actually likes seeing him. These doctors are very qualified and as stated above specialist in the balloon angio field so that is where we are going b/c we want Evan to have the best docs! They do things very different at this office, I think we are just used to the laid back and loving atmosphere at Dr. McOmber's. These doctors get it done and get it done right the first time even if that means restraints, if you know what I mean!! Anyway, I'm anxious about seeing them all again tomorrow and what they have to say about Evan's upcoming cath. Sometimes you go in there thinking things are great and leave crying and then sometimes you think there is a problem and there are none. Evan had some kind of virus last week and ran a fever for two days, ever since I think his lips have looked a bit flushed. He also has taken extra long naps the last few days, I guess this virus just wore him out a bit. It will ease my mind after the echo is done and they look it over. We are ready to get this going and to be a little more normal again.
