Big medical week for us

I have a cardiology appointment for me tomorrow. I'm kinda scared, but trying not to worry. My heart has been acting crazy lately.  So they made me wear a heart monitor for the last 30 days. I just sent it back and they called and said I need to see the cardiologist THIS WEEK. I told them I'm really busy and asked if we could do it next week, but they said no, I have to be seen SOON.  Tuesday.  OK.  This is crazy! I've been having symptoms for months and no one seemed to care.  So I just figured all is well - I'm not going to die and I just went on with life and ignored it. And now all of a sudden, they have to see me NOW? I'm trying no to worry, but a part of me is worried. And another part of me is just stubborn and annoyed!


Caleb has his scope on Friday. I know it's an easy procedure, but I still worry whenever anesthesia is involved. And I'm worried about what they'll find... or if they'll find anything at all.  They're going to see what's going on with his reflux and weather it has caused damage to his esophagus, as well as look for any structural abnormalities. They're also going to test for Eosinophili Esophagitis.

Also my pediatrician wants Katie to see a PT this week too.  Katie has severe foot pronation that's getting worse. Plus because she has a back brace, it's harder for her to move so as a result she doesn't move as much, which makes her muscles weaker. So then she doesn't want to do as much.  It has turned into a vicious cycle. They want to put braces on her feet now too. The poor kid needs a body brace! She told me the other day, "I need a new body mom." Broke my heart. But she's a trooper! She has a good attitude and is very persistent. She never gives up!

And Nathan gets his braces on and a palate expander on Wednesday. I've heard horror stories about palate expanders so I'm stressing for him and dreading it. He's more like his dad and really isn't worried (or doesn't show it if he is.  In fact, I was talking about it at dinner earlier and he said, "Oh yeah, I forgot.) So I'm worrying for him. (No wonder I have heart trouble, huh? I worry too much!)

So lots of worry and waiting this week, but hopefully we'll have some answers. I'm kinda excited for my appointment and Caleb's appointment just so we can know what's going on!
