Cindy is still thriving. She will see her cardiologist in November. Her medical insurance just changed. She will have to get a different ped. I really like her current ped. I'm pretty sure that she can keep the same cardiologist. I think her new insurance will give her a referral to the same PC. I'll have to go pick out a new ped for Cindy and then have her or him give me a referral to her cardiologist
Group Health was very good for Cindy, but I am very angry with Group Health for the way they treat me. I wish I could leave Group Health and Cindy could stay with Group Health instead.
One month later, Cindy's father has changed jobs again and her insurance will change yet again. I've had to put off her next pc appointment because I don't know what Cindy's new insurance will be. I'm really stressing out over this.

I finally got Cindy's insurance problems worked out and got her in to see her PC. Cindy is doing great! Her heart and lungs both looked better on the chest X-ray.
She still having a PVC on every third heart beat so she was sent home with a holter monitor again.
I bought a bottle of detach all to take the holter tape off with but Cindy would not sit still and quit screaming, so my parents could not use the detach all and had to use the old tear it off as fast as you can method of tape removal.
That was a shame, I know she was screaming and not sitting still because she was afraid that the tape removal would hurt and because she would not sit still and my parents could not use the detach all it did hurt.
Cindy was switched to a yearly check up schedule this time, so we don't have to go back for a full year. Her PC said he wanted to give Cindy a tread mill test when she turns 5 1/2, that's two 1/2 years away. By then Cindy will probably have different insurance since her dad now works for a dot.com company and so many of them are going broke. Cindy will be four next month and she is three feet five inches tall and weighs 39 pounds. She is already taller than most five-year-olds.

A nurse called and left a message on our phone machine saying that Cindy's Holter test showed no changes. That is pretty good news, it means Cindy will not have to take medicine.
The bottle of detach all that I bought did nothing to help. Cindy would not sit still to let us use it so we had to use the old rip it off and fast as you can technique of tape removal.
