We woke up dark and early this morning to drive up to Primary Children's Hospital for Emmy's sedated echo. Today the children at the hospital were celebrating halloween, so everyone was wearing costumes and trick or treating. Emmy was so tired and hungry (she is not used to getting up at 5:30). The nurses had a hard time getting her IV in and finally called the IV team. It was so sad. Emmy was crying so hard that hardly any sound came out. It took everything I had to not cry. They let me hold her while she fell asleep. I got to be with her the whole time and when they were done they let me hold her while she woke up. We then went up to recovery and she was able to finally eat. Once she recovered, we went back down to cardiology to get the results. They doctor said she has something called patent ductus arteriosus. Here is a link that explains what it is https://health.google.com/health/ref/Patent+ductus+arteriosus . We will keep an eye on it and they think when she is about 3 years old they will fix it.
