Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday; I hope everyone had a good day. I had an okay day not really the best but certainly not the worst. My Niece made it through the night which was a good thing; I didn't exactly sleep the best in fear of getting a call from Aunt or Uncle saying that they had to take her to the ER. She made it to the morning and was able to make her appointment with doc and it was not the flu; strep throat; her thyroid; or anemia like we all had hoped.

Instead she had a murmur which means Cardiologist which lucky for me my Cardiologist was more than willing to help out since the first Peds Cardiologist I called they told me May and well doc and I were both concerned and he told me I don't really deal a lot with children but I can at least take a look and at least get you guys some answers; he checked her out and sent her for an Echo and sure enough she's like Auntie and has something wrong with her heart. She has a medium sized hole in the top portion of her heart also known as an Atrial Septal Defect; which means some form of surgery. She goes tomorrow to see someone else in my Cardiologist's office since she is showing symptoms when she's never had a murmur or Cardiac symptoms before so they really aren't messing around which I really appreciate.

Afterward I kidnapped her for a girls night with just the two of us. We went to her favorite resturant and went to Build-A-Bear and shopping at the mall; trying to get her mind of things. I figured why I had her Aunt and Uncle could explain to the sister what was going on. I was sick of being the doctor's translator. I am glad I work this Saturday so I can make up for the time I've missed; also I'm going to have to use a vacation day for her surgery day; I think HR will see that I want a day off and think something is seriously wrong since I usually don't ask for a whole day off and most of my appointments are between me and my boss.

Hugs to everyone
