~ LOOKING GOOD ~

Yes, Mia's heart is doing just fine! The VSD (hole) is still about the same size, but at least it hasn't "reopened" and probably won't. We are due back for our next check up around February (her 3rd birthday) and for now he just wants us to enjoy her ~ now that's an easy assignment! I am relieved and happy, but I, of course, just wish it would have closed completly.

Poor Mia was so thrown off by going into the exam room that she didn't stop screaming and crying until we walked out of the office. Before we left for the doctor's office I told her the doctor would be taking pictures of her heart ~ I figured since I'm always taking pictures (or so I'm told) it would be a familiar concept. No such luck.

Of course, I have a few pictures from our day. After our appt we headed over to our weekly playdate. It was a gorgeous spring day out and the kids jumped, ran and played to their hearts content:

I'm a happy girl

"Meg, you wouldn't believe my morning!
They can even take pictures of your heart!"

Joanne,
I am so glad the md appt was good and Mia's heart is doing fine. I can not believe how much she is growing-she is so beautiful. Mia is a favorite...I have continued to check in on your blog frequently even though I had to shut down my old blog. Ella's cardiology check-up was great-the heart surgery performed in China was a success. I truely believe these girls are watched over by God...they develop a strong spirit of survival. I am getting my old blog going again-so we will see you in blog-land.
