Got all of the result back from Makenzie's test. Yesterday she went in and had an EKG done to check if Dr. Everitt can trigger Kenzie's Brady Cardia by pushing on her chest but of course her heart rate stayed in the high 90's low 100's. So that test showed nothing then she had a X-ray done to measure her pectus to see if that is causing any breathing or her Brady Cardia. Then she got a Pulmonary test done which she was a little nervous and had to have Braxton try it first then she was ok with it. She liked blowing out the candles.
Now for the results....The Pulmonary results came back and showed that she has mild restrictive ventilator defect. Which they say that it is ok. doesn't sound like it but they are not worried.
The Holter Monitor results are The high was 162 the average heart rate was 92 and the low was 52. ok I can breath a little. Her pauses have improved meaning her heart rate had less pauses. But she had 8 premature ventricular contractions, which is a skipped beat but they say it is common in a lot of people even healthy people. They were not all in a row so they said not to be concerned. It also showed none of the signs of her Brady Cardia like she did on the echo last Thursday where it was all over the place.
Holar test which is the X-ray on her pectus the extreme is 5.5 and Kenzie is 4.7 which is high so they want her to see an pediatric general surgeon that deals with a lot of kids with pectus to see what he thinks about it and so he can follower her. The good news is that none of the test's show that her pectus is not affecting her breathing or heart.
But nothing explained why her heart was dipping low and bouncing back up. Maybe it was just a fluke. I feel a little bit better and can now take a deep breath, and continue to pray that she will stay healthy and strong and the Doctor's will do what they need to do to keep her healthy. Thank you for all the prayers for our little girl.
