[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 53384, member: 3579"] Just got back from the pediocard. They did all sorts of tests, including an echo, EKG, etc. Bottom line: he is "normal" for a teen with an "athletic heart". No problems, he can start the study. So, why am I bummed that my son has a perfectly healthy heart? [img]:slap:[/img] McWeedy left early (his girlfriend came with us and waited in the waiting room during the exam). I stuck around and asked the doctor about the effects of regular pot use on his heart. He said "nothing that I can see - he's perfectly healthy, better than many kids his age. Even if he's been smoking regularly for 3-4 years, the primary risk is to his lungs, nothing with his heart." Am I supposed to be sad about that? On one hand, I'm glad that there's nothing wrong. On the other hand, I had some hope that this would be yet another "wake-up call" for McWeedy. Instead, he now has a smile on his face and some spring in his step because there's nothing "wrong", and I'm worried that it will bolster his overconfidence in his pot use. Wow, you really can't win when you have a difficult child, can you? Guess I'll take the healthy heart and make the best of it, and hope for something to happen with the SA/ADD study over the next 16 weeks. Now I just have to keep McWeedy from feeling invincible because he's been "cleared" by a doctor..... [img]:rolleyes:[/img] Mikey [/QUOTE]
