The cardiologist won't see McKenzie until tomorrow. The debate now is whether to go to the ER or wait. I want the ER and Dale wants to wait, so we have asked the advice of a not-so-neutral, yet good opinion-giver, my dad. The problem is that the ER generally doesn't know what to do with McKenzie and usually puts us through the ringer and sends us home with nothing useful. That is what the cardiologist has told me too. So, my dad is going to stop by the house and check McKenzie out to see if he thinks she is bad enough to go through the ER ringer. And he will listen to see if there is anything in her lungs or if their are any arrhythmias. Otherwise, absent some drastic change in her condition tonight, we are waiting until tomorrow morning. We are are going to work her hard to get enough fluids and skip the calorie police role for now. Thank you all for caring!

that indecision is so hard...to ER, or not to ER, that is the question. Hoping Grandpa can help you out with your decision. Prayers for McKenzie, Hugs, Kim and Will
