Rose’s Heart
Rose went to the cardiologist yesterday to see how the 3 holes in her heart were doing. She went when she was 2 weeks old and now it has been 3 months since that first appointment. The EKG and Ultrasound looked really good – meaning, they can’t see the holes anymore! They did say that she was really gassy so it was hard to get a good look at the top of her heart, and for that reason they want to see her in one year just to be 100% sure that she is in the clear. From a mothers point of view she seems super healthy and happy and has been a really good baby. She tries to talk to Ben and I every night before bed and we love it. She obviously doesn’t say any words but she will go back and forth with you just making sounds for quite a while. 3 1/2 months have flown by and it’s hard to imagine life before Rose anymore. For the Monday Holiday Ben had to work but I still wanted to do something fun with the kids so while I played basketball, Brady took the kids to Krispy Kreme for donuts! and then we picked up Aunt Kelsey and we all went to the indoor swimming pool in Lehi. It was lots of fun. I spent most of the time taking care of baby or atleast staying close to the car seat but Rose did go swimming for the first time and liked it, until she got hungry. The pool day was a success – only because I ended up having 4 college kids there helping with my 4 kids – that my friends is the way to go to the pool 🙂
rose is sooo cute! so glad to hear about her heart, and i’m so jealous about all your help at the pool, want to send a few my way?
That is good news. I am curious about her heart, I know there are lots of different holes that can cause concern…I don’t know if you mentioned exactly what it was in your last posts, I’ll have to go back and look. My cousin just had a procedure to close a PFO–and she’s 25! After years of being sick (and multiple ‘normal’ cardio tests) they found it. Freaky stuff. I am SO glad that Rose is doing well! She sure is cute.
