I learned something very interesting this morning. The reason for the esophageal echocardiogram is because the esophagus is behind the heart, so by going through the esophagus, they will have a much better, much closer view of the heart. Isn’t that amazing? Who would have thought to go through the esophagus to get a good picture. Technology is sooooo amazing to me.
I have a friend who is a doctor, and she is also one of the people for whom I clean house. I had to let her know that I might not be able to get to her house next Thursday; it might be Friday instead. In talking to her, she told me the reason for the esophageal echo.
I hate the idea that Katie has to go through pain to have this done, yet the technology and God-given gifts of the doctors astounds me.
Tomorrow will be the blood test in the morning, then we wait until Wednesday for the actual “physical” tests on Wednesday and Thursday.
