6 Months Post Op

We had Abigail's 6 month post op cadriologist appointment today. These appointments are always nerve wracking because 1.) we worry they will find something wrong and 2.) we know how much these appointments upset her. We talked to Abigail about seeing the cardiologist a lot this past week...what they will do....hoping this would prepare her. She really seemed to understand, but as soon as we were called back, she lost it....huge meltdown. :(

The echocardiogram went ok. Her Atrial Septal Defect and Ventricular Septal Defect look good. The repair is still in tact. Great news! There is no additional leakage from her Mitral Valve, but there is about a 25% chance that the tear could get larger and she will need another surgery to repair it. We were not expecting this. The percentage was a lot higher than we were thinking or prepared for. The thought of going through another heart surgery is just devastating.

As for now, Abigail is a very healthy and happy little girl. She is doing EXCELLENT! We have faith in Abigail's doctors and most importantly, God. We will continue to pray and think positive thoughts. We love you more than anything in the entire world, baby girl!!!
