Guest guest Posted March 28, 2002 Report Share Posted March 28, 2002 Thank you, !!! I am so very thankful for all that I have been blessed with. Take care!! Hart Baby Bean due 30 June 2002 Re: Little update on me , good to hear you and baby bean are doing so well. take care, michelle in OK ;o) > As most of you know, early in this pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a mass in my heart - what they call either endocarditis or a blood clot, they still are not 100% sure of what it was. I was on IV antibiotics for 6 weeks, went for biweekly cardiologist visits for echocardiograms, and 3 months ago they released me to go only every 3 months, which brings me to today. I saw the cardiologist today, had another echo, and the absolutely wonderful news is...the mass is still nowhere to be seen! So, I have been officially released from the cardiologist - he only wants to see me from now on " as needed. " > > The other neat thing that happened while at the cardiologist was during the echocardiogram. An echo is basically an ultrasound of the heart. The girl that did it, she and I have become like friends since this whole thing began back in November. During the echo, she had me roll over on my back to make sure she couldn't see the mass from that angle, and she couldn't. So, we had been talking about Bean, and she says, " Do you mind if I have a look? " and I said sure! So, she said, " Shhh, I am not supposed to be doing this! " and we looked at Bean for about 5 minutes. Saw her face and head, spine, arms, knees, legs, and the cord. She is still sitting breach, with her head under my right rib. She kicked the ultrasound wand a couple of times, but never did spread her legs, so we didn't get to peek. It was neat seeing her, if only for a few minutes! This ultrasound tech is one of those people that you think " I could really enjoy just hanging out with her! " She is so nice, and always so friendly, not like anyone else I have ever encountered. She asked for a baby picture when Bean is born, too. > > Anyway, that is my update! One more milestone reached - being released from the cardiologist!! I tell you what, if nothing else, this whole experience will surely make me go to the doctor sooner in the future if I " just don't feel right.
