Reality Check and Good News!

I just realized we have 7 appointments scheduled for Rose in July! (yikes, yeesh, uggghhhh) If you know me... I dread appointments. Its exhausting-- getting there on time, being prepared with the "Mary Poppins" of diaper bags, as well as dropping off siblings or taking them with you-- all around, a lot of work. Not to mention sometimes emotionally draining. Today was the first of all our appointments with the Cardiologist. 

Rose's EKG with the dermatologist showed that one side of her heart was larger than the other side. So we had a follow-up today. After a few doctors examining her and the ultrasound, we got a call back that ALL is normal! She just has an innocent heart murmur. Such good news because that is our last appointment with them. 

On our way out, the front desk receptionist gave Rose a special gift that some sweet "angel" had hand-made for all the little heart patients. I've been doing those kinds of projects for hospitals since I was a teen with my church. I never thought I'd be on the receiving end of one-- how comforting and special such a small act of kindness can bring. Thank you to all of those sweet angels out there!
