Cardio appointment

Maddy has a big cardio apt coming up on Monday. She's scheduled for a Echo & EKG. I'm not nervous that they will find anything wrong, because she has been doing great, its just that these apts always last so long. The she had these same tests at 4 months old and the EKG took 45 min, the Echo took 1.5 hrs & the Doctor visit took 1/2 hr, ad all that up with the wait time in between & we were there over 3 hrs. The reason the tests take so long is that the machines are very sensitive & we have to try to keep Maddy still & keep her from pulling the stickers off. We resorted to feeding her during the tests, kind of holding the bottle in front of her & letting her drink, we couldn't hold her because that would mess up the readings also. Now that she's almost 9 mo old I don't know how we are going to keep her still, maybe the docs have some tricks? We'll see.
