Our ladies hospital

Rosa had an appointment with the cardiac surgeon today. Rosa was born with a congenital heart defect and has had 2 heart surgeries. She met Dr McMahon 6 months ago and had some tests and he gave her the all clear and said she would probably only need annual check-ups. So today I thought it would be routine but during her Echo Cardiogram test he noticed some leakage in two places in her heart. It's probably nothing but needs to be monitored a bit more closely. She had another ECG and a blood test, didn't like either very much especially the blood test. Who like getting stuck with a needle.
The children's hospital is a very surreal place to be in.  You're worried about your own child until you see another poor little one being pushed by on a trolley hooked up to loads of machines with mammy and daddy bringing up the rear trying to hide their terror. I  hope that Rosa doesn't need any more surgery. I don't want her to have to go through that, or me either.
