12!!! My gosh, that’s just a baby! That’s incredible. I’ll bet you do see a lot of that kind of thing though, with a rural practice like you’ve got. You’ve just got to wonder what kids are thinking sometimes.
Kids aren’t thinking, that’s the problem.
Just back from taking her in...it’s not good, worse then I was expecting. Come to find out she hasn’t been taking her heart meds, only when she thinks she needs them. I could tell the doc. is very concerned, and tried to make her understand how important it was for her to take them. I got to hear her heart beat...lord, even uneducated medically me, could tell it’s bad...beats real fast for 3-5 beats then STOPS, for a second or two at a time. From what I gathered right now it’s no more of a problem then it normally is, but as the baby grows and her volume of blood goes up...it could be bad, even taking the meds. Did Kayla understand...who knows? Is all she can say it’s that’s normal heart beat for me. That comment worries me...she thinks since it’s normal for her it’s OK. He called it an irregular irregular heart beat. Going to be a long 7 months for her mother.
Hair: from what you say, would you give the meds to Nikki even earlier then 8:30??? He said they may do the job on her themselves.
