Should I Let Out My Breath?

Sophia had her first cardiology appointment in two months and I was SUPER nervous. The last time we were there, Dr. Wellman told us that her pressures were better, but he didn't trust her. When we first went in, her blood pressure was so good, I couldn't believe it, it was the lowest it has ever been. We then went back for the echo and boy do I wish I had the camera there? She fussed a little bit, but not too bad. This could be attributed to the fact that we brought half of her toy box, two snacks, her sippy cup and her binkie! Hey, we're experts at this point right?! So we were only in the exam room for a little under an hour and Dr. Wellman said he was pleased with what he got. He said the differences in the pressures this time was 30, which is what it was last time, so he wasn't too concerned. I then commented that her blood pressure this time was lower then it has ever been and he asked that his nurse do one more, this one on her arms. When they did this one, it was higher then the one they got before, but Dr. Wellman said it was what he got when he did the echo!!! That was such wonderful news to me! We don't get to see him again until Sepetember...which again, makes me SOOOO nervous, but Sophia seems to be doing well and this makes me happy. I did talk to him about the possibility of her getting tubes and he said she should be able to tolerate it, so we'll have to jump that hurdle once we get there. Plus he wasn't surprised when I told him about that!
