cardio appt

kayleigh did great. they did an echocardiogram (ultrasound of heart) - she barely fussed, and that was just at the end. also did an ekg, which they had to repeat, she did great both times.
the dr did not hear the extra sound, nor did they see any structural issues/problems on the echo. they did see one or two PVCs (premature ventricular contraction, or early contraction) sooo....they decided to do a 24hr holter monitor EKG test, which we finished today at lunchtime. we take the monitor back monday and it will take about 3wks to get results. they do not expect to find anything but with the PVCs and the fact that we have noticed her lips get somewhat dusky at times they wanted to see if they could capture anything. we do NOT have another appt scheduled and do not have to go back unless they find something on the 24hr EKG.

OH and she was 28" long, 7.7kg/~16lbs 15oz
