A Heart Update


I love this little photo of Ella taking care of a baby doll.  The doll is a resident of her pediatric cardiologist's office.  Ella recently had her 6 month post surgery checkup to see how her heart was doing.  We were delighted to learn that not only did things appear to be functioning perfectly, but if things continue to look like this, she may  not need surgery to fix her leaking valve.  It has either improved or is putting much less stress on her body, and at this point appears to no longer be an issue.  She is scheduled for an echocardiogram in September and after that she should only need 2 year follow-up visits.  This is HUGE!  We have spent so much time and money at the clinic, we are looking forward to a break on both fronts.  We would like to thank everyone who has prayed for Ella.  Your prayers have meant more than you will ever know!
