Mar 23 2010 - Lily breathing with 5-6 grade heart murmur 2

Lily breathing... I'm not sure if this is how hard she normally breathes as I haven't paid that much attention. I may be a little paranoid now that I researched how bad heart problems can be but I want to know if this is normal or bad and if I should take her somewhere before her ultrasound appt that is on April 1st.

Just for the background information: grade 5-6 heart murmur. Has had around 6 fainting spells over the past year (I thought they were seizures until now). She is 1 yr 10 months and ~3lbs. Had a severe vaccine reaction on Wed, March 17th... collapsed with blue gums and tongue, treated with oxygen, cortisone and epinephrine.
