2017 Annual Cardiac Check-Up
Jack had his yearly work-up with Dr. Su on January 29th, 2018. I count my lucky stars that we have been able to consistently see the same Card since before Jack was even born. That kind of comfort is inexplicable.
Jack never used to get nervous but he's old enough now that he kind of knows the routine, and the thought of having to do labs sends him into a bit of a vacuum. Nothing else matters. Luckily, Dr. Su knows that and offered Jack a deal. He said "You can either wear a 24/hour holter monitor, or do labs today. Which do you want?" Jack of course chose the holter. But that deal means he has to do labs next year. So- now he knows it's coming for sure...
So unfortunately, we don't know his liver count. It's unnerving, but at least Dr. Su doesn't think it's urgent enough to even DO labs. So that's nice. All Jack's tests are normal. EKG looks good, x-rays good.. all results show that he is "the same" which is always great, because he's usually doing really well.
We are so grateful for this great hospital, its resources and its amazing staff.
Jack is finishing up 6th grade and will be going to Jr. High in the Fall. (Gulp.)
We love him and and are so proud of his great accomplishments. I just feel lucky to be along for the ride :)
