Waiting patiently in the waiting room with Papa
Little baby, big exam table
Getting the echo done
So many wires for EKG!
Worn out!
Ava had her cardiology appointment this week in Rome. First she had an echo (heart ultrasound) and then an EKG. Turns out the murmur is from a very small hole in between the two large chambers in her heart, called a VSD. Babies who have a problem with this have trouble breathing, trouble eating, and poor weight gain. As you can tell by looking at her, this has not been the case! Dr. Donner was a very nice and patient pediatric cardiologist, who explained that most of these close up by 3 years of age. So she will be seen yearly until it closes. Ava did so well throughout the whole appointment and all the procedures, not a single cry or frown! We knew she was going to be fine, but it's nice to know exactly what is going on and what to expect! It also reminds me of one of my favorite songs by Plumb, called "God shaped hole". We all have a hole in our hearts that we inevitably try to fill with so many things of this world, but nothing fits except Jesus! Let's make sure and ask him to fill us up daily!

Sam had that same thing! And you know what it closed up by age 2! God is marvelous and wonderful! Glad it was a good experience with a nice doc.
