"Give me an undivided heart, O Lord..." Psalm 86:11

I took C for her yearly heart check up. She had a good work up last spring after we returned home from China. This was the one year follow up. The pediatric cardiologist reported that she is growing well, has no restrictions physically or medically, requires no medications before dental work, is to be treated like any other kid, and is expected to live a long, healthy life with no complications related to her heart likely. We return next year to repeat some of the tests that were done last year and not repeated this year like the color dopler. It will be compared to her initial test from last year. The thing they are watching is that one of repairs was right next to the aortic valve and there is a slight regurgitation in the valve. The repair was excellent and the slight leakage is common. It is small enough that it is inconsequential. She is being monitored to make sure it stays that way. If there is no change after next year, then our visits go to every 2 years. The doctor does not think it will ever become an issue. This is more out of precaution than anticipation. What a miracle God has given my sweet baby girl.
