Cardiology Frequent Flier Club

Malachi's Friday appointment with cardiology confirms that there are up to six issues with his heart ranging from "no big deal" to "concern". There are parts that are not right with it; however, it is functioning and he is growing well. He eats three times what he did last week and has gained nearly one pound in one week (now at 6.69 lbs.). The best case scenario is that his heart will grow strong overcoming the potential weaknesses as he ages. At this point, he will not have anything done but will be part of the "Cardiology Frequent Flier Club" having echocardiograms frequently so the doctors can monitor his development closely.
