We made our trek to Elmo's Diner for an early lunch. Appointment was at 12:15 p.m. We got to Duke at 12:00 and were immediately taken back for height, weight, BP check, etc. Then, we went and had the EKG and Echo. Jacob did great with the echo! I was so relieved. We were done with all that in fairly short order and sent back to the waiting room.
Dr. Rhodes got behind and I believe we waited at least one hour in the waiting room. We were finally called back about 1:45 p.m.? Dr. Rhodes came in, explained what they would be looking for. He also mentioned that he likes to do a routine cath around 8-10 years old when all studies have been fine. He would do it earlier if there were any issues. No activity restrictions are anticipated at any time he said as long as we have no complications in the future. The echo & EKG looked great and they have no concerns at this point. We were told to come back in one year for an echo / EKG. All in all a wonderful visit!!

ONE YEAR!! Oh, I long for the day when we hear that. I'm so happy for the excellent report. This is wonderful news...
hello,
my son was born in nov. 2007 with TGA as well. his first birthday is coming up and as I read your post, like so many others..I am still moved by the emotions that we go through! I just wanted to say that it is such an encouragment to me to see another boy with TGA doing so well. however, the cath thing was a shock to me..I'll have to ask our cardiologist.
thanks for sharing
