I took Middle in this morning to see her doctor because she was still not feeling quite well and her head was still in a significant amount of pain. Middle had actually approached me last night, worried about going to school today. Well, I was worried about sending her. So when I called the doctor's office and was offered an appointment for Tuesday, I asked for something today.
When we arrived, I learned that the cardiologist from the hospital's affiliated group had already been in contact with our doctor and had confirmed Middle's diagnosis of the rare Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome.
Apparently, the way it appears on the EKG is very distinct, and her EKG displayed the classic hallmarks.
Middle had a tough time performing some standardized tests, showing that she was still having difficulty with her balance. Her vision was still a bit blurry.
The doctor agreed that Middle needed to be off school today, and tomorrow, and referred us to both the concussion clinic as well as a pediatric cardiologist.
With her Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome confirmed, our next step is going to be meeting with the cardiologist and seeing what treatment options he suggests.
