Kody has an appointment with Dr. McKenna this morning at 11am. It has been six months since the last time he was seen and his heart condition has progressed. The doctor said he noticed the heart isn't contracting like it should be as it had been doing before. He said he would like us to take him to see the Pulmonary doctor and have his lung status evaluated. There is come concern about aspiration that is not immediate but something to be addressed to see if there has been any change. Also he made mention of how thin Kody is. Anyone who knows Kody knows he eats like a horse. He is thin because his heart is always on overdrive so it requires more of him.
I asked him a few tough question which he answered the best he could. One of them being ... at the rate of progression of his heart, how much longer is it going to be able to function under the current stress it has on it. He simply said it could be a little while but that he does not like to time stamp things.
I was a bit anxious as we entered the hospital. His doctor said he would like to see Kody back in three months instead of six.
When Kody was asked if he had any questions for the doctor he smiled and said no. Earlier in the day he told me he didn't have any questions but that he knew his heart was getting worse. He then smirks and is like "That stuff just keeps sneaking up on me." Then he face palmed.
If you have any questions feel free to comment or email. ((HUGS))
