She has never liked the blood pressure check
Waiting for the doctors
Dr. Klewer interacting with Arianna.
We LOVE Dr. Klewer!
Annual echo
Conclusion:
Arianna's echo looked good but her right ventricle is definitely larger than last time. Dr. Klewer feels it's time to go ahead and get a cardiac MRI study to check her right ventricle pressures. One of two things will come out of this. (1) The right ventricle pressure will be below the threshold (something like 170) and we will continue with our 6 month follow-ups with a repeat MRI probably in a year. (2) The right ventricle pressure will be close to or above the allowed threshold and we will have to have surgery. The surgery would require a pulmonary valve conduit to be placed. We are still waiting on the date for the MRI but it will be either the end of July or beginning of August. If surgery is needed then we will most likely get it done before winter to keep her out the hospital during cold/flu season.
