Quick Heart Update

Today was Millie's one year checkup with the cardiologist.  There were no procedures or tests done; the doctor just listened closely to her heart...for quite awhile.  I was sooo proud of our girl; she stayed perfectly still and didn't make a sound the entire time both the doctor and the intern were listening to her heart.  Of course, it was because she was frozen in fear...I mean, they are both men.  But still, she was such a good girl and they even kept us waiting forever.  The verdict is that the hole is still there, but the good news is that he can tell it is getting smaller by the sound it makes.  Thus, it is in the very slow process of closing.  He said the majority of these defects are closed by the age of 5, so he doesn't want us to come back for another 2 years.

Since we were there with Syd, the doctor went ahead and listened to her heart as well.  He found absolutely no trace of a defect or anything out of the ordinary.  Phew!
