Perrin's visit to the Cardiologist

First off, this child now weighs 12 pounds and is 24 inches long. He's only 10 weeks old! He has gained 5 pounds since he was born and is now wearing 6 month sized clothes. Phew! It seems like he is in a big hurry to grow up. He must know that there are video games and Heroscape to be played! :o)

Anyhow, the appointment at the cardiologist went okay. We've been going once about every three weeks. (To find out why we are taking Perrin to the cardiologist so often, look here. ) Well, Perrin refused to be still during this visit. Dr. Shapiro said that things looked the same as they did last time. He also said that we will need to go to the Rockville office in 6 to 8 weeks. Perrin wriggled around too much this time and Dr. Shapiro was unable to get a clear look at the valve. Next time, they will try to get Perrin to cooperate for the ECG. If he doesn't, they will give him come baby valium and do the ECG that way.
