long day already & it's only noon

Had to go to cardiologist Dr Ebeid's office for a work up for Wyatt's heart cath on August 31st. I'm so ready to get it over with. Today they needed to take measurements of his heart and arteries. It was torture and I'm being nice. It was awful. First he had a chest x-ray, then an ECHO, then an EKG. He screamed thru all of it. I was sweating from holding him down and the stress of it all. We talked to the surgeon and signed all the consent forms and then Dr Ebeid wanted one more measurement, so off we go for another ECHO. I was horrified that we had to do it again. After it was finally over he was tired and passed out when we finally got in the car. Was not happy to go to school. I just wanted to hold him all day. But I'm sure after a good nap and lunch he was fine. I just hate having to watch him go thru all that. And they should come up with a better way of doing those procedures on little kids.
Hopefully tonight he will sleep better than last night. I'm so ready for all this to be over with.
We report to Blair E Batson at 8am on August 31st in the Cath Lab. It will take a few hours for them to complete the procedure then we will spend the night and get up the next day, have another chest x-ray, ECHO, and EKG. If everything looks good, we go home.
Just pray everything goes smoothly.
This is a major procedure and nothing is 100% risk free.
