Since we have been home, Ella has been quite sick! When she coughed, she sounded like a seal distress call! We took her to the doctor and they listened to her heart AND did a chest x-ray. They found that she had walking pneumonia and gave her breathing medicine and antibiotics.
Her heart sounded wonderful when they did an EKG. But when they looked at her lungs, they saw a stray wire from her heart surgery. The wire had originally been around her sternum and lung(?)... Well of course we heard that bit of information just as all the doctor's offices closed. All we could think was that something was terribly wrong.
Today we heard from the cardiologist that all was well - nothing to be concerned about at all! We will have a more complete examination with a specialist soon, but that was very encouraging!
