R Visits the Cardiologist

Today was the day. R's appointment was at 10:30, but we had a 10:00 check in. We got there at 5 til and signed in. I got all the paperwork filled out and then we waited. And waited. And waited. At 11:30 someone came out and told me they hadn't forgotten about us, they just didn't have any available rooms. Finally, we were called back. She had her blood pressure taken...4 times and then she had an EKG. The doctor came in shortly after that and listened to her heart. After listening he ordered an echocardiogram. We had that done and he told me she has a hole between the 2 ventricles in her heart. It is about the size of a pen point and is deep in the muscle. According to him, we should never see any symptoms and it shouldn't complicate her life at all. In fact, there is a good chance it will close on its own. He said, "If you had to choose something to be wrong with the heart, this would be a good one to choose." So...we go back in 3 months and hopefully it will be all closed up.
