SPENT THE MORNING at the pediatric cardiologist; cancelled my first class this afternoon when — after doing an EKG, etc. — they decided that some findings indicated that my daughter warranted an echocardiogram. That actually turned out OK, and shockingly they were fast enough that I made it back (barely) in time to have taught that class after all. Probably just as well I’m not trying to, though. I’ve spent all the time I want at cardiologists, though the pediatric kind represent a new thing, and one I’d happily have foregone.

The point is to rule out any kind of congenital problem in my daughter, on the suspicion that some undiagnosed abnormality may have led to my wife’s heart attack. So far, so good, but there are more tests to be completed.

Back later.
