Eagan had an echocardiogram and an abdominal ultrasound today. The abdominal ultrasound didn't find anything, but the echocardiogram showed a blood clot in his heart probably from the old central line. There isn't much they can do for this except keep a close eye on it. In the mean time, it will just freak out Mommy.
