Doctor's Appointment

Today we saw Dr. Drake at Lakeside and the did a heart sonogram. She is growing fine and looking good. The sonogram showed that the Mitral Valve was leaking. This seemed to cause a little concern for the doctor. The next step now will be a heart catheritization, which will be a one day thing at Mercy. He said he would like to have it done by October 1. After the heart cath the team of doctors will review the footage and determine how they next what to proceed. So after that we will know more or less when the shunt surgery will be. All the more reason to huge both the kids when we got home and soak up every smile, hug, smell of the skin, softness of the cheek, and cute look that I can.

Kathy has Dylan until about 10:30 tonight so I can get some howework done. Jennifer and Aubrey are at Anna's birthday party.

Also I am so glad he used the term leaking rather than prolapse! I probably would have lost it because that word would have terrified me.
