Hear Ye...Hear YE....Tucker Watson will not be see in CARDILOGY CLINIC for SIX more Months!!! I could honestly scream it from the rooftops. We got a glowing Cardiac update and couldn't be more grateful.
Cardiology Visit
EKG-Looked good, we even got a copy of it this visit.
Pulse OX- 95% - higher than last time, could be because the fenestration in his heart has closed from surgery.
Blood Pressure-97/58 - Normal range.
ECHO - All of his artery pressures looked good. Bloodflow through narrow areas from surgery looked great. Fenestration is still open. Good amount of flow.
Here are our take home notes
1. Lasix, ok to discontinue. Watch for retracting and swelling.
2. Emergency Action Plan, email it to Dr. Porras.
3. Should Tucker have an allergic reaction to Milk (whey), he can have a 1tsp (12.5mg) dose of Benedryl. Watch heart rate. Should that not work, ER visit and MUST be Epi-pen'd.
4. Dentist appointment in a few months. Must have pediatritian write antibiotic prescription prior to appointment.
5. Email Dr. Porras for Chest x-rays, ECHO images and clinic notes to update emergency flash drive.
6. Behavioral Assessment, keep Tucker involved with Cardiology Neurodevelopmental Clinic. Get IEP evaluation from school. (qualifies for medical IEP) Find behavioral therapist to work with his aggression issues.
7. Sports. Keep him active, soccer, limited. T-Ball would be ok. (Contact sports = nope. Also, would not want him to play varsity sports due to the high endurance and the physical limit pushing.)
