Cardiology Check Up

Yesterday was Stephen's 6 month check up with the cardiologist.  The doctor said everything sounds wonderful and that he will see us in 6 months for a full evaluation including an echo.  This time around he only had to have a chest X-ray and EKG...no echo.  I am always a little nervous/anxious leading up to these appointments.  On one hand I expect to hear only good results because he doing so well but on the other I know a list of complications that can easily arise.  I am beyond grateful for the good report and pray that Stephen's heart continues to function well.

He is a charmer for sure and he is getting so big!  He is no longer a baby but somehow grew into a little boy.  His adorable squinty eyed smile melts my heart and he asserts his independence more and more each day.   He picks up his bowl and drinks the rest of the milk when he finishes his cereal and helps empty the dishwasher.  He loves building with legos and coloring with markers (I need to get more washable ones) at the table while his sibling do their school work.  He loves to sit in my lap and read the same book over and over and over and leans in to give me kisses any time I ask...well mostly =0)
Life is good and we are very blessed.

As for prayer requests...please continue to pray that Stephen's heart remains strong and healthy and that our family can avoid all these nasty bugs going around.  I go into a minor panic mode when I hear "flu" because I know full well what that word can mean for Stephen.
Thank You!
