Todays news

Kourtney had her heart Echo today. It was determined that she has Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (thats what my Bro. RW has). It means that her muscle is to thick and it is harder to pump the blood through the arteries. They say that it is not too bad yet, but will naturally progress as time goes by. No meds are needed yet, she will just have to be followed and they will later decide what to do. They feel that her heart condition kind of takes a back sit to the neurological problems right now. I was not really shocked by the finding but was blind sided by "You need to get tested also, even though you were tested while young the disease can show up at any age". and then we get to hear "you need to get your other two children tested, once a year until they are adults" and "we need to do some genetic testing and see how strong the gene is". Poor little girl, I hope that the bad news will stop coming. I guess all that I can do is hope for the best and pray for the strength to handle whatever we need to.

Wow! I didn't realize that his heart condition was something that could show at any time. I just assumed that you either had it or you didn't. Hope that everything tests well for you, Jax and Kadrey.
