Heart of a Tiger
We visited Dr. Wellman today. Needless to say, I was extremely nervous since the last time we were there, Miss Sophia's number jumped 17. To start off, I can't believe how well Sophia did during her appointment. She let them take her blood pressure (115/58) without any wiggles, she let them put the EKG stickers on her and she sat through the EKG, there were three nurses and she let all of them listen to her heart, AND she sat pretty still and watched Baby Einstein (Old MacDonald) while we did her echo. She did get a little wiggly through the echo, but I had cheese it's and we were able to talk to her. Dr. Wellman was very impressed with the numbers we got today. She went from 39 to 41 in two months. Another trip to Seattle for either another angioplasty or a new stent is high 40's, low 50's. So, we are still on a slow road to Seattle, but we aren't going tomorrow. We get to see Dr. Wellman again in two months and he wants her to stay on her aspirin and he likes the blood pressure medication where it is. So, this is good news for now, just have to wait for September.

Good news...I guess. It's always hard dealing with the "inevitable" and trying to plan your life around making trips to Seattle (especially when you have other children to think of). But for now, sounds good. Still haven't taken the time to e-mail you, but hope to connect one of these days.

Thanks Grandma.
And Angie...yes, it is so hard to plan and deal with the inevitable. Just trying really hard to take to it day by day.
