Halter Monitor Results .....

I received the call from the Cardiologist clinic this morning.  Results from his halter monitor turned out alright.  The nurse also informed me that the health form for MDA Camp was turned in.  Both good news.  

He has been on the Lasix now for over a month and it seems to be keeping the edema at bay.  Thankfully he doesn't have an issue with taking the medication anymore.  The first few times it caused his feet to spasm which hurt.  He still has some swelling but nothing overly concerning.  Doctors tell me just to keep an eye out since I noticed the edema to begin with.  Getting him on a scale is damn near impossible because he doesn't do well standing at all much less with assistance.  

Monday is his last day of homebound for his eighth grade school year.  I am going to have to talk to his teacher about what comes next.  There was mention of doing virtual schooling due to the courses with high school.  I have been trying to research the ins and outs of that type of program.  I'm not sure how that is going to go.  Then there is the thought of needing to get a new desktop computer for all that since the one we currently have is on it's last legs.  I mean literally it will squeal like a pig with no real reason why.  Any ideas on that?

Time to go see if our night owl needs or wants anything.
