Tuesday we started off at Dr. Mehta's office (GI). Dr. was not to happy that the feeding clinic said that he wouldn't be able to get him in til March and said he would make a few calls. This appointment was routine. Dr. checked him out and made a few med changes. Dr. Mehta did ask Cyler if he brushed his teeth. Cyler at first didn't answer but then Dr. Mehta told him that brushing his teeth was most important. Cyler than replied: "well than, YES". "Yes I do brush my teeth" "I brush them everyday, day and night". Cyler was most excited that he was now tall enough to ride the "Shamu roller-coaster".
After the GI appointment we headed over to the heart doctor for a two year followup. He did very well again despite the fact that he wanted to get to Sea World. They did an EKG-Cyler did great. Then Dr. Riddle came in and said she would like an echo done. The last time he had an echo done was almost 2 years ago and he was asleep. He did AMAZING this time. He stayed still for the entire hour long process. The tech had cartoons on but Cyler was more interested in keeping the tech entertained with his impressions of what he saw on the monitor. He noted that the flaps (valves) opened and closed to let the blood through, how many chambers there were, etc. I was shocked. When we got back to the room Dr. Riddle came in and she started to explain that everything was great and there weren't any restrictions. Cyler felt it necessary to ask her if his "flaps" were ok and if the blood was alright. (basically he wanted to know if he could ride the roller coaster). She explained to him that his "flaps and blood were ok" and that he could ride any ride that he is tall enough for...and follow up in 3 years.
------We did go to Sea World after the Dr. appointments. Cyler did get to ride the Shamu roller -coaster and a few other rides.
