January 22nd Cardiology Appointment

It's always good to hear the words "beautiful repair!"  That is exactly what the sonographer and Adriana's cardiologist said today! Everything still looks great almost 3 years later. Though Dr. Macias wants to keep an eye on her resulting sinus node dysfunction (which sometimes occurs due to scarring from surgery), he feels confident enough in Adriana to change her check-up occurrences from semi-annually to annually. He will also watch out for any recurring obstruction in her pulmonary artery--though nothing has changed since her open heart surgery in January 2013. It is possible that down the road, scarring could get worse, and it could lead to obstructions. However, as of right now there is nothing to be concerned about, according to the echocardiogram she had this afternoon.

This was a huge day for us. Going to annual appointments is something we never thought she'd be able to do, when I was pregnant with her. We are so blessed. So thankful.
