HEART EXAM

Yesterday afternoon the cardiologist reviewed Max and we discussed the future plan for his heart surgery. Today they are doing an echocardiogram on Max to ensure there are no changes within the heart (no worsening of the VSD or the faulty valve) and no infection. They are concerned that because they haven't found the source of infection (probably cause of the high fevers), that is could possibly be in the heart. Today's test will help determine if there are any such problems.
