Can a gastroenterologist review Lucky's scans?
A gastroenterologist willing to review Lucky's reports could help the family decide on treatment for a congenital heart murmur.

Lucky was diagnosed with a congenital heart murmur in July. The local team has recommended watchful waiting. We understand it's an important decision, and we'd like to be sure.
We're asking if a gastroenterologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Lucky's reports and give a short opinion (a call of 20 minutes or a written summary). We'd gladly pay for any cost to your practice that we can afford.
We have scans, lab reports and the doctor's notes ready to share securely. We understand that you can't give formal medical advice without an examination, and we're simply looking for guidance on questions to ask and options to explore.
Thanks for even thinking about it.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Riaan. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Wishing Lucky a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending love, Riaan. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Lalitpur.
sending good thoughts, Riaan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Love from Huntsville.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Ciudad de México but we're thinking of you.
