During Claire's 4 year wellness check up in October, her doctor discovered a heart murmur. She had Claire change positions, but it was still there. She wasn't alarmed, but just wanted to be safe and have Claire checked out a little more thoroughly by a pediatric cardiologist. Texas Children's Hospital had a very long waiting list for patients like Claire who didn't have an urgent issue. So today, we had the follow-up with the specialist. They took a chest x-ray and an EKG, which Claire was not too fond of, and then 2 doctors came in with their high-tech stethoscopes to listen to her heart. They listened for a long time and finally looked at each other and agreed that she has a "venous hum" which they explained is completely harmless and she'll outgrow at some point in her life. Praise the Lord that this was nothing serious or anything that required more tests. Before we went to the doctor, I wanted Claire to have a good attitude, so I took her to the mall and let her play in the play area and we ate at the food court for lunch. She was so good! She made quick friends as always and showed them how to do the most dangerous stunts on seemingly safe play equipment. She had lots of fun and so did I!
