Andre's 2nd Echocardiogram

Brought Andre back for a 2nd Echo to see whether his tiny hole in his heart had closed.

And the diagnosis is:
Small atrial septal defect/patent foramen ovale 3mm.
Patent ductus arteriosus spontaneously closed.

In simpler terms, it means tat the hole in his heart is still there but the doc is very confident tat it will closed by itself and no cause for worry. Need to repeat the echo in 8 mths time, ie, in 27th April 2010.

The damage is $105 and can use CDA to pay for it.
