Thank you everyone for the kind words, information, and prayers.
Sorry I did not clarify what was going on. With this flu thing she had, she would start coughing, then fall back unresponsive for a few seconds. The coughing and being unresponsive has continued after the fever/flu and antibiotics were gone.
Doc first thought just coughing too much and not getting O2. Then, after more visits, he started asking my wife about little things we never really payed attention to in the past. Listened to her heart a few more times and decided to send her to a pediatric cardiologist with Childrens.
Doc said it COULD be a restricted valve in the heart. Possibly a valve is not growing as she grows etc. He did say it could just be the virus, but with oddities in the past.....
She has an appointment with Dr. Sperazzo (sp) at his/her office on the 31st. When I originally posted, all I heard was pediatric cardiologist, Childrens, heart. From what has sunken in today, this is a doc with Childrens and she will be seen at his/her office/clinic on NW 13 in Oklahoma City for the gamut of testing, not actually at Childrens hospital as I originally thought.
We were told to expect to be there for several hours depending on initial test findings. I'm really hoping after the first test we're told it was just a false alarm, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
We're going to take my oldest, as we won't be back when she gets home from school. We'll take their halloween costumes in the event time won't allow being home for them to run the neighborhood. I'm guessing we'll hit a mall or two to let them have some fun after a stressful day.
Thank you everyone for the encouragement and kind words. After reading some of the posts, this almost sounds minor to others health issues. I cannot stop dwelling on possible bad news, and don't even want to think about the possibility of surgery. I am already a nervouse wreck and cannot think of anything other than my daughters health.
I really appreciate the support for Haley, "bugs". Please keep "bugs" in your thoughts on the 31st. I'll update as I get information.
Thank you again,
JR
