As my grandmother told me once: "Don't worry until there's something to worry about." That being said, play hooky from work and school for a day or two next week and spend it with her. Go shooting, go to the salon, get her a manicure, go to the zoo, go to the movies... whatever it is she likes to do.
My wife's brother and mother were both born with heart conditions. They're both alive, kicking, and healthy. Best wishes to you and her.

It may be something having to do with the virus, the same thing happened to me few years back (and I'm 57), this after having a long-term low-grade infection(abcess tooth) and I was in bad shape for a while. I predict nothing to worry about, she's young and strong and resilent. A good MD will have her straightenend out shortly, and some time spent with the Great Physician is in order. God Bless.

I know what you are feeling. My 13 year old daughter was diagnosed with Grave's disease a couple of days ago, and we are scheduled to see a pediatric endocrinologist. Stay strong for your little girl. Best wishes for the best possible outcome.

We'll pray for her here. Would you give us her first name?
It's good that you worry for her - it means you're a caring parent. And I want nothing more than for you to come back here and feel like a heel because it turns out to be nothing. Remember, she's being referred to a specialist because it *might* be something, and the specialist is better equipped to say what it is.
Had the same fun experience myself about a year ago, regular physical for work, with a new MD because new job had new insurance. He looks at me kinna sideways and says, has anybody ever told you you've got a heart murmur?
One echocardiogram and a few calls to my old pediatrician revealed the new MD was being cautious with me as a new patient, the murmur was of a minor and nonthreatening type.

The state of pediatric cardiology in this country has come a long way in the last 20 years. She's in good hands.

Thoughts and prayers from NY, too. Be strong, and be your daughter's advocate. Ask a LOT of questions, and demand answers that you can understand. Talk to the doctors directly as much as possible, and don't rely on what is filtered down through the nurses and interns. The medical profession is wonderful, but sometimes tend to forget they are dealing with entire families, not just a single patient. Best of luck to you and your child.

I reckon I owe you more . . . 21 years ago, my Son was born with a "spontaneous, congenital, birth defect" which left Him with a left leg 60% shorter than the right, a missing finger on his left hand, and a forearm slightly smaller in diameter than his right. Docs said He wouldn't crawl, He wouldn't walk & probably wouldn't see 10 years. We were DEVASTATED! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO HIM/US? All we heard, no matter where we went was: amputation, amputation, amputation. We prayed, we researched, we waited (unfortunately Mom "broke" and we divorced), and we PRAYED . . . we believed. 21 years later, our Son is whole & complete & if you didn't know, you wouldn't have a clue as to what He & we went through. As Jimmy Valvano said, "Don't give up . . . don't EVER give up." Call me if you need to talk . . . 509-783-5121 . . . call me collect if you're in a bind. There is NOTHING more precious than our Children . . . and "I've been there."

I have talked to the big guy, and he says for me to tell you that he's got you covered. Love heals all.
Keep your head up and your knees bent,sir, and you all will come out just fine on the other end.

a reminder
I'm somewhat skeptical about prayer requests over the internet, however, you have included her picture, and I can see she has a "brave" smile on.
I will be glad to ask for her, and the both of you also.
She is a blessing from GOD for you and your spouse, and it may just be that this is simply His way of reminding you that He would like to hear from you more often.
My children are adults now; but present a different set of concerns and worries. That will come to you...later.
With her strong and young heart, any valve problems are correctable, and electrical -ECG anomalies may or may not be serious. Though probably not.
Don't be frightened, GOD is gracious.
