Today was an eventful day!! Evan had his yearly heart checkup with the pediatric cardiologist and he is doing SUPER! Not that I worry about him too much any more, but it is always exciting to go in and hear that everything is functioning as if he was never born with a heart defect. :-) His doctor said that the reduction in the size of the hole from birth until now is quite remarkable. Definitely not something you see every day! But we will take it, lol! Evan was so well-behaved during his appointment - he amazes me. He sat very still during the echo and just grinned at his doctor while she listened to his heart. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful group of pediatric cardiologists and the doctor we saw today is my favorite. She is always so thorough and is more than happy to answer all of my questions. Evan will continue to get yearly heart checkups. Because of the location of the hole being so close to another valve, there is a minute chance that it could cause pulling and leakage in that adjacent valve, so we just have to check on that every once in a while, but should in all likelihood never be a concern. Here is a picture of my smiley little guy. He brings so much joy to our lives. And Mommy finally got one that looks just like me!! :-)
Clayton had his last day of preschool and graduation today! This was his second year of preschool and he will still have one more year of it before starting kindergarten in the fall of 2009. His school and teacher are so wonderful and always manage to exceed my expectations. We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to take advantage of such an excellent preschool program!
