Check-Up

Evelyn had a slew of doctor's appointments lately, checking everything from her general health to her heart condition and her overall development with her geneticist. We are SOOOOO happy to report that she is doing wonderful! Some of the best news came last week when we met with her pediatric cardiologist and we found out that she only has one small hole left. She was born with 3 holes and 2 of them have closed on their own. The remaining hole is the least worrysome and will likely close, as she has proven in short 6 months that she is a very strong little girl. The best news is that she will NOT need open heart surgery, even if the final hole does not close. We are so releived. EV also had a 6 month evaluation with Dr. Rosenbaum (one of the best geneticists in the country) and he commented that she is "one of the best success stories he has seen in a long time." When I heard those words I almost began to cry. I feel so blessed that she is doing so well and I just cant wait for her to continue to grow stronger!
