#HeartMonth day 5. I think without exaggerating Ellie has had over 200 EKGs and echocardiograms. When she was an infant they were horrible! She cried and screamed and occasionally threw up. Now she’s a pro. She still doesn’t like having to sit still but she always finds the will power, especially when a special surprise is offered as compensation. Every year, 40,000 infants in the U.S. are born with #CHD. These tests can be lifesaving and help these children and adults manage their conditions. They are virtually pain free which cannot be said of some of the other interventions. #CHDAware#EchoPro
