Heart Murmur :(

It turned out that they were doing free medicals for middle school sports teams tonight at the same time and place that we had managed to secure for our swim team tonight (see uttertly totally pissed off thread for more on that once I've calmed down enough to post....) so, after 2.5 hour practice, took 10 yo daughter to get hers done. It's been just over a year since her last physical, so the doctor's office couldn't just send in the form, and her next physical is scheduled in three weeks, so I figured get it done now in case she changes her mind and decides to play basketball which happens between now and then. Seeing as we're there anyway.

They marvelled at her pulse, especially given her recent exercise (in a good way), And then they heard a heart murmur. So she didn't pass and I get to worry all night until i can speak to someone and probably beyond that until I can get her to se someone. I told then she was only 13 months since her last exam and scheduled for her next in a couple of weeks, hoping they'd say that's fine, they can check it then. But no. He said well if you call them, they'll probably be able to move it up because of this. That does not sound good.
