Ellison Update

We're home from her appointment and we got the best news we could hope for! While she does have a problem with one of her heart valves, the doctor felt it would most likely never affect her in her lifetime. He said it would probably not ever go away, but as long as it does not get worse (very unlikely that it will), then she will never need any sort of treatment. If she did need treatment, it would be through a catheter - and the procedure has close to 100% success rate. Great news!

Her appointment was at the Children's Hospital. Talk about a reality check. I hope and pray that we never need to go back there again. Seeing some of the other children there made us really take stock and thank God for all the blessings we have.

So in the end, Elli had a great day! The nurse gave her a sucker with the wrapper on it to play with. She ate through the wrapper. Nice little sugar high in the exam room - now THAT was fun!!!!



I hate to complain about the weather since our friends and family up north are digging out of a foot of snow, but it really is cold here...good thing we have our winter hats to keep our ears warm!!
