Well, an update on Hannah and her health. She had a problem with her heart 2 summers ago. She fainted. We took her into the doctors and we found our her heart rate was in the low 40's. Her pediatrician, Dr. Wirkus, did an echocardiogram and sent her to a heart specialist, Dr. Jerry Jou at the Primary Children's Hospital. She also just a couple months later (in December 2 years ago) developed Raynoud's Syndrome. During Christmas vacation, Hannah showed me her toes and they were very swollen and blackish purple. We went to her pediatrician, a podiatrist, a vascular surgeon, and a Rheumatologist to try to get her toes taken care of.
During this time of seeing so many doctors the Rheumatologist ordered a TON of labs for Hannah. This was a blessing. We found out that she has Hashimoto's Syndrome. This has to do with her thyroid. During all this time it was being very stressful on Hannah. I felt so bad and I was nervous for my poor little girl as well. I was grateful to be in a big city with the best doctors close by. We were already spending so much time going to appointment after appointment, I can only imagine how much more difficult it would have been if we would have had to travel distance to a big city for care several times a week.
We did find out that her heart was beating normal, that her sinus
