Sophia had another cardiology appointment on Wednesday. I of course was super nervous because I knew that the last time we were there, her numbers climbed a little bit, but not enough for another trip to Seattle. I was prepared to come to this next appointment and start making plans to go to Seattle. Sophia's first blood pressure was definitely not the easing sign I was looking for. It was 133/71. She was sitting and doing a really good job being still and calm during the pressure. She then got her next blood pressure on her leg and it was a lot lower. (In my nervousness I don't remember the good one!) It was good though. It was low, so that was a relief. Then it was time for her echo and again she did fantastic. She got a little restless at the end, but who wouldn't? After the echo, Dr. Wellman told us that Sophia's numbers actually went down from 41 to 39. He said he actually had to run the test twice because he couldn't be sure of the results. I was so excited to hear this, but I am still being cautious. This is a tricky girl and her heart has played tricks on us in the past! We compromised on another appointment in two and half months and I hope to hear good news then as well!

Great to hear. As much as it would be nice to extend you "Fall" going south, it's good not to have to make that trip and another surgery.
Glad her appointment went well!!! She's getting so big and grown-up looking!
