Abigail's Cardiologist Appointment

Abigail had her one year post op appointment yesterday. Colin and I were, of course, nervous. Abigail normally has a complete meltdown and it is just so tragic for her. Not this time!! She did GREAT!! There were no tears AT ALL!! Wahoo!!!

They have these little cars attached to the doctor's table (pretty much like what they have on the grocery carts)...Abigail LOVED it!! Beep beep!!

When we first go back, they always do an EKG. For the past several visits, they have not been able to even get a reading because Abigail has been so hysterical and pulls off the wires 50 bazillion times. So this time, Colin and I asked if we can be the ones to put all of the stickers and wires on her. It worked!!! No tears and a great EKG!

Next they do an echocardiogram, which again, typically involves lots of screaming and holding her down. This time, she just laid on my lap while Colin dished out Cheez Its and jelly beans while she watched Elmo. It was just crazy how well she did!!

The doctor said everything looked great! Colin and I are SOO relieved!! We still have to keep a close eye on everything and make sure there are not any changes, but we do not have to go back for a year!! Yay!! Abigail was so incredibly brave today! We are SO SO proud of our big girl!
