We have some test results back. Granton's Echocardiogram looked fine. He does not have an enlarged heart and the function is strong (it beats normal). However, the EKG (Electrocardiogram) showed concerns. Based on this test, Granton's electrical impluses do not travel well. This could be because some of his heart fibers are damaged. We are wondering if his heart was overworked during his hospital stay, as it was trying to push blood through his weakened lungs. We don't know anything for sure yet.
We will go back to CMH to get an opinion from a cardiologist and repeat the EKG. You should know that the receptionist has had a lot of referals lately for this very issue. Our doctors suspect a problem with the EKG machine.

Dear Jenni and Daniel: You have my prayers, both today and often in the past. May God continue to give you both wisdom and guidance in continuing to give the best of care to Granton. I have one suggestion--and that is, to go to a pediatric cardiologist in Springfield if this next test @ CMH is not satisfactory. We had a client in our practice go to one about 4 years ago for an irregular heartbeat in her baby and this Dr. was very good. Hoping that this 'new' problem really is just in the machine! :-) Blessings and prayers, Beth
I will continue to pray for Granton. I'm so grateful you have God following you every step of Granton's life! You are very brave!

Been on vacation and busy with summer stuff, but am home now and glad to read your latest reports. I suggest you go somewhere else besides CMH and see if the test results change. Hopefully it is just a machine malfunction. Will continue to keep everyone in prayer!
