Maren's Heart

We took Maren to see a pediatric cardiologist at Riley today.  Here's what we found out, she does have a heart.  ha.  (just kiddin' Maren)

She's now had three or four EKG'S, two chest x-rays and blood work testing several different things, and the doctor said from all the tests, the heart itself looks like it's in good shape.  Yay.  He wants her to come back in a couple of weeks for a stress test to make sure that there's not any "electrical shorts" happening outside her heart while she is exercising.

He also stated that if you look at a physicians manual for chest pains in a child Maren's age, typically the heart is the last cause, oddly enough.  He said most often, chest pains in someone Maren's age is caused by an onset of asthma, or something gastro-intestinal.

So, still checking things out.  Thank you SOOO much for your concern and for your prayers.
