Yesterday was an interesting follow-up cardiology appointment for Grace, who was born with pulmonary atresia with an intact stenosis. She hasn't seen Dr d for 2 years and really this is the first time Grace knew what was going on. She voiced the things that bother her....taking the leads off after her echocardiogram. I held her hand throughout the extensive, nearly hour long echo while Grace watched Barbie Nutcracker.
After the echo, Grace had a quick EKG. Dr. d came in and gave us good preliminary news that there didn't seem to be significant change in the valve leakage since Grace's last visit. So, we'll follow-up in another year. This is always so good to hear!
We're thankful to have more time before we have to talk valve surgery.
We're thankful to have more time before we have to talk valve surgery.
We're thankful that Grace is such a brave, strong girl.
We're so thankful for the care she's received for her heart condition; for doctors and professionals who take their time with us and make sure we understand.
We're thankful to KNOW what we're dealing with and have an idea of what lies ahead.
We're thankful for research and medical development that will make Grace's future heart procedures less invasive.
Grace reminds us to be thankful for and to really live each and every day!
