Over the weekend we received a card in the mail for Ella, as odd as it sounds I had no clue what it was. So I decided to call the phone number on it today and I this is were I learned something new........
Apparently we were suppose to be told in the hospital and was suppose to be given an temporary card to carry around for anytime Ella has anything done X-ray, MRI, CT Scan or even to have on us to go to an airport through security. The device that was placed in Ella's PDA is called an Amplatzer Occluders (AGA Device) This device will set off anything that can only handle a certain amount of metal. So say we go to the airport and we forget the card, the airport might think Ella is trying to take something on the airplane that is not acceptable.
Thank goodness we received this card in the mail because the hospital is not so good about giving us information that is useful.
