My almost ten year old was born with a heart condition. Everything was fixed when she was young. She has had a clean bill of health ever since. All her tests keep coming back fine. Last cardiologist appt was two months ago and he said no one would ever know she was a heart patient.
Now however she is ALWAYS cold. I mean always. I can have the heater cranked and she is shivering. Also she gets tired way more easily. It is freaking me out. I have an appointment today with her pedi. She is just not herself at all.
Can things change that drastically in such a short time?
Update - We went to the Pedi. He drew some blood for labs, checked her oxygen sat levels, took her temp, and poked and prodded quite a bit. Her oxygen is a little lower than he would like. Her temp was also on the low side. We went and had an EKG and that was fine. They want to do a stress test on her. Still waiting on blood work.

Yes. Please let us know what happens at the appt. I wish her well.
While poor circulation and extreme fatigue are both symptoms of heart trouble, there are many other health issues that have these symptoms. It's a good idea to get it checked out, but save the panic for if you get negative results.

Yes. I would definitely get her checked. It may be nothing, but better safe than sorry!
Do you ever get hit on even looking a mess?
Why inflict this silly cosmetic pain on a baby!?!
