Adriana was not happy when she was first brought back to the cardiac surgical unit at UMMC--she's terrified of anyone in scrubs or a white coat. She fought getting an I.V. and even ripped the first one out of her hand, forcing them to place one in her foot. She then proceeded to fight sedation. Addy has always been a little scrapper though ;)
She finally gave in, and the echo plus the EKG took a couple hours. Dr. Chaves was able to get very good views of Addy's "problem area" (her pulmonary artery and branches), and told us some good news. Her branches are completely clear, and the mild narrowing of her PA has not worsened. Dr. Chaves said she has mild leakage in her valve, but no more than any normal person would have.
So, to recap, we're thanking our lucky stars that the repair has held up :-) No surgical procedures or meds are needed at this time. Adriana probably won't have to go see her main cardiologist for another 6 months, unless she wants an in-person follow-up.

Look how comfy she was ;)
