Cardiology

Lila had an appointment with cardiology today. They did an EKG and an echocardiogram. Lila thought the echo was hilarious and laughed the entire time. It was pretty funny. Unfortunately the results are not. Her heart is functioning at 30% less then it was. They want to put her on some medication but unfortunately all the medication influences potassium levels. Which is what she struggles with. We're at that point where she is on so many different medications that they all influence each other and cause side effects. It's so hard what choices to make it this point.

Sweet girl! Sometimes you have to laugh to ease the tension, huh? Prove them wrong, Lila. You have a heart of gold and a heart of a fighter.

I wish I could have heard her laughing! So sorry for the disheartening news.
