25 February

Last week, our girl had her check up with her heart doctor.  She had open heart surgery to fix a hole in her heart when she was 10 months old.  Luckily, her surgery was fairly minor (as far as open heart surgeries go), and she is not expected to have any further heart problems. Still, it was the most stressful times of my life and I'm so glad that is behind us.   It's good to remember where we have been and what we have overcome when we are facing new challenges head on.  At the appointments, they always do and EKG and Cardiac Echo (ultrasound).  This time "cat" came with us and needed to have a "turn" with each of the tests also.  I always get nervous, but things are looking real  good and I'm so happy that the doctor and I got to talk about our favorite ski mountains instead of any further surgeries.  SO back in two years, just for a check up, phew.  SO grateful.
