Good News from Children's Mercy

At her two-week checkup, Paige's doctor heard a heart murmur. It was still audible at her two-month checkup, so Dr. Marx made an appointment with a cardiologist at Children's Mercy for Paige.

Her EKG was normal and the cardiologist said that the murmur sounds innocent. So, we didn't get an ultrasound done. We are going to monitor the murmur as Paige grows, but we are optimistic and hopeful that this murmur will not pose any health issues. The cardiologist believes it is physiological and will probably go away.

Here is a picture of Paige getting her EKG. She slept through it! (The nurse who tried to take her blood pressure about 15 mins before this wasn't so fortunate...Paige cried a lot and really gave her a challenge!)
