Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
Valentine's day is a day surrounded by love and hearts. Well my day this morning started with some news about my own heart.
I had a heart ultra sound a week ago and a 24 hour monitor and this morning I received a phone call with the results.
I was only awake for about 5 minutes when I received my call. The nurse on the other side told me that they had seen on the ultra sound that my heart is a little enlarged. It is pumping more blood in my body (instead of the arteries) than a normal heart and he said that when I had my monitor on, they seen my heart not beat for 2 seconds. They want to go over the results with me face to face in detail and to figure out what our next steps are.
You can guess how my day started: Panic Mode. I hung up the phone and started crying of course. Looked at my little girl, who was sitting on my lap, and thought I'd never see her grow up.
I called my husband and told him the results and he tried to assure me that there is nothing wrong, else they would've wanted me there already. But because I was in such Panic Mode, he called the nurse himself to make sure everything was indeed fine. I have been feeling a little depressed lately and I probably only heard the bad half of the conversation and not the good half.
My husband called me back and told me I had nothing to worry about. The enlarged heart was minimal and probably a left over from the pregnancy and the 2 seconds where my heart did not beat was probably from where the monitor lost a connector and I had to re-attach it. So yeah, I am not too worried now, well still a little, but I can at least go on like I was going till at least Wednesday. I hope the news is not bad and I do hope that if there is something wrong, it is treatable!
After all the phone calls this morning I decided to not let this news ruin my day. I put Lora in her Valentine's outfit , made her a new flower to match the outfit and took a picture of her. I posted the picture on daddies facebook and thanked him for my precious gift =) .
The sun is shining today and when I walked the dogs this afternoon it actually felt good outside. So I decided to give the boys a bath outside, it was well needed after a cold winter and I cleaned out their pens. The blankets are now drying in the sun and wind and hopefully they can go back tonight.
I am gonna finish up writing this and then I'll start cooking dinner. Pork chops are to be made tonight. Maybe Brad wants to grill them today :)
