Another Answered Prayer

We had our appointment with our cardiologist today. Andrew was hooked up to all sorts of machines and also had a 33 minute ultrasound. He was the golden child. Never cried, never complained, he just took it all in stride. He didn't move a muscle during the ultrasound and when the Doctor came back in and said he wanted one more look, he just hopped right back up onto the table. He amazes us. He also had a blood draw.....he didn't even flinch. 3 viles. We just can't believe how mello he is at times. David thinks it is because he already trusts us and feels our love. I hope he is right! ;)

The out come?????

Andrew does have a hole in his heart but it is so borderline on whether he needs surgery or not. We are being advised to have it repaired, but that there is no hurry. There is no immediate danger or serious problem. We are scheduled to go back in September and decide at that point when and what we would like to do. His body does have quite a bit of scar tissue around the hole as it was probably trying it's best to heal and close the hole. However, the fact that Andrew is

3 1/2 years old, it probably has done all it is going to do. David and I both feel that we will have the surgery done because it is ultimately in Andrew's best interest, but I can't tell you how relieved we are that it is not a "serious, take care of it right now" kind of situation. The Doctor told us to "get to know our Son" and to "enjoy this time with him", to treat him like any normal 3 1/2 year old boy and let him have fun. What an answered prayer. We are so relieved and many of you have asked me to let you know how our appointment went, so I wanted to share our good news. Have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Mother's Day to all my family, friends and blogger girlfriends! ;)
