She was diagnosed with it two years ago(she is currently almost 9 years old),and we go back for a check-up in December.I sometimes worry about her,but I try not to hold her back too much.I am as well informed on the condition as I can be,and I watch for symptoms;she has complained of chest pain twice, and one time, for a few days she seemed extremely tired.My question also relates to her school.They are asking the kids to run for 30 min. once a week, and everyday they run for about ten minutes.I am afraid this is too much stress for her.Her records have not caught up with us from her other school(we just moved from Austin to San Angelo)so I'm also wondering what I could do about that.Our insurance has not kicked in at my husbands new job,but if necessary, I will find a way to get her to a Dr. here so that he can write her an excuse,if need be.

My suggestion would be to get her cardiologist, (Dr Johnson, or Dr. Fox, maybe?) to fax the information to the Administration Dept of the SAISD. Cost you a phone call at most. I know he would be willing to do that for you. Tell the receptionist what you want, make sure she writes down that they are expecting the kids to run that long, and that she writes down your new phone number, as well as the fax and phone numbers of the school system. It may take him a day or two to get this done, but stay on it.
Changing insurance/getting coverage in the interim is a frustrating endeavor. I just spent hours on the phone yesterday, doing the same thing, and I *think* I got it done. Or at least, I got them to claim to have gotten it done.

This is the type of thing that only a licensed medical physician can answer. U must have the physician write a letter to the school if the school is trying to have her do too much. So, yes, see the doctor and maybe a second doctor or specialist too.

first, you should produce a doctor's note that you can give to the school so that she may be excused from doing strenous activities in her gym class. running may be too hard on her... i suggest talk to a doctor about what types of activities she can and cannot do. if a person has a heart problem, i'd rather let her exercise less, than push her harder -- because this can cause some serious complications.

So, you prefer to entrust your daughter's health to some random stranger on the Internet? Definitely consult a doctor.

Go to a REAL doctor, and ask him/her, not here, moron.
