Evynn was home for a short stay. She was discharged last Thursday because although not perfect, she seemed to be improving and could recover at home. She spent the week at home on the couch or in someone's arms. Her energy progressively got lower and she continued to vomit in her sleep once a day. At her clinic visit on Wednesday, she saturation levels were all over the place depending on her position and which limb the prob was measuring. Her left leg was also cool compared to the right and she complained of pain in that leg. She did have pluses in both legs but the left was weaker. Her cardiologist did not like any of her symptoms. First thing Thursday morning Evynn had a sedated echo, followed by a chest x-Ray, ultrasound of leg and blood work. Echo showed no changed in function of her heart, and no change in the leaky valve (mild/moderate). X-Ray showed lungs look great with no fluid around them. Blood work was also good. Ultrasound showed there is an arterial clot with collateral arteries that have formed around it allowing some blood flow. Evynn will be having a heart catheterization some time next week to look for more answers.
