~ MCJ's photos with the keyword: prognosis no longer than 3months

Josie's suffered heart failure from the radioactive iodine treatment. I had an echocardiogram done on her last week, and they believe she had cardiomyopathy prior to treatment and it wasn't picked up. She had a grade 2/6 heart murmur prior to treatment, which normally goes away once she's cured from hyperthyroidism, and now it's a grade 4/6, which means she suffered some heart failure. She was drinking excessively when she came home as her lungs were filling with fluid. She's now on diuretics, and an ace inhibitor called Fortekor, and she's been given maximum 3months prognosis. I've put her on a several supplements and she really has a better quality of life due to them, but she has difficulty breathing (not that you would know it in the photo). She does a lot of stretching. That shaved area is where they put the instrument to do the echocardiogram.
