Well..... I just got off the phone with the heart Dr. and we have moved my checkup to January.
What I haven't mentioned is the long pain staking process I have been through after my regular physician/cardiologist (falsely)diagnosed me with Cardiomyopathy of Pregnancy and warned us to never have another child. This of course was 3 days after being released from the hospital with empty arms. Lovely huh? My husband and I immediately wanted a second opinion and thankfully my mother pulled her strings and got me into the Women's heart specialist for Duke the very next day. (Boy-talk about some serious anxiety the night between) Not only did my child not live , now I wasn't sure I would !
Needless to say Dr. K does not see the cardiomyopathy and doesn't feel the diagnosis or the advise to not have a child should have been made from just an echo. It is a very symptomatic disease - which I am showing none.
The only thing alarming about my heart is an occasional bout of tachycardia due to an addition node. Which I have had since childhood and have been assured can not be fatal. By the way-They feel this had nothing to do with Makenzie's death she was completely healthy. They chalk her loss up to a cord accident. They currently have me on a heart monitor for 30 days to see if this is happening enough to perform a minor surgery. I also am having problem with my blood pressure being high since leaving the hospital -which we are monitoring.
We have been told by the perinatologist that if we get the okay from the heart Dr. we can begin trying again in Jan.
Well...time for me to head outdoors and go for a jog. Gotta get that blood pressure back to norm.
#######Please take the time to view Makenzie's memorial video atop the sidebar########
The song playing during it was a song I had chosen for her in @my 3rd month, it was supposed to be he life song. Funny how that work out, huh?
