So, I found out on Tuesdya night that both Freyja and Frigga have HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). I have known that Freyja has it since this summer - we found out about Frigga when they accidentally performed the follow-up echo on Frigga (apparently it's hard to tell my little ones apart...)
Anyway. It just brought back all the uncertainty and sadness I felt when Freyja was first diagnosed. When I dropped them off for their physicals (I just enrolled them in Banfield's awesome Optimum Wellness Plan), I was having these horrible intrusive daymares about having to put Freyja down.
I need to focus on the fact that they are healthy and I am doing all I can to keep them that way. Ah, the power of positive thought...

Awww, kitties. Don't panic. Just take the best care of them you can and love them alot, which you obviously do. I read a little about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. They say it sometimes occurs in serious athletes and its a thickening of the heart muscle. So think of it this way: your kitties have super-strong hearts! I hope they live long, healthy lives in spite of their diagnosis.
Thank you, Cakelet. :-) Your kind words are very much appreciated. Truly. They are both strong girls and so full of love, it's no wonder their hearts are getting bigger.
