Mr. Mom

Well, today Endrit gets to really be Mr. Mom.  He has been stay at home dad for a few months now.  This is different.  This is the first time that he even said that he feels like a mom.  I am at work and he is at the cardiologist with Marsi.  It is the first time that he has gone to a doctor's appointment with Marsi without me there.  It is pretty easy for her.  There is no blood work today.  No immunizations, just looking at her incision, x-rays, an electrocardiogram and a small echocardiogram.  I think that Daddy will do just fine with it.  I am still debating going to her regular 6 month pediatrician appointment because it will have immunizations and Endrit does not do well with needles at all and I want her to have some support when he usually leaves the room for things like this.

fast forward an hour...

The cardiology appointment went well. Marsi does have a little bit of fluid around her heart.  It is a very small amount, but it needs to go away.  This should be done by medication.  She goes back to the cardiologist for another echocardiogram and x-ray in a week.  Other than that, the electrocardiogram is showing that her heart is working more normally.  It is showing that there is a lot less stress on her heart which is great news.  When we have her 9 month pediatric appointment they will want us to get another x-ray to ensure that her heart is in fact getting smaller over time.

I also set up her 6 month pediatric appointment for May 3 at 3:45 pm.  The school is allowing me to leave the building 15 minutes before the final bell so that I can have enough time to pick her up and get to the appointment in time.  I am lucky to work at this school that would help me out.

So, that is what it is.
