We are heading out of Miami, and I'm hoping this is the last trip down for a while!

Today's ENT appointment was short and sweet. The doctor took a quick look at Brandt's ear tubes and sent us on our happy way. We have to follow up in 3 months but that's not a big deal.

The cardiologist appointment went good also. They did a quick EKG, which was far simpler than his previous echocardiogram, and then we met with the doctor. She did agree that his heart murmur was a little bit more on the louder side, but she believes that to be triggered by his anemia. Everything else checked out perfect!

And, THE BEST PART--the cardiologist finally put an end to my husband's rebuttal on the dangers of MRIs. First, she said that she did not believe that Brandt's heart shunted blood during his previous surgery, noting that the bluish coloring was more likely a result of a blocked airway from the breathing tube. Then, she continued and said that if Brandt has to be under anesthesia, it is a better idea to get everything done at once (rather than his idea of doing one at a time, as needed). I was so thrilled, I asked her if she could repeat that again a little louder so my husband could hear!

All in all, it was a good day, and I plan on sleeping like a baby tonight!
