Mommy report:cardiology update

We saw Dr. A today. He is the pediatric cardiologist that saw Braska in the NICU a couple of times and originally treated her AV canal issues and such, along with Dr. J. We then went to Dr. F in StL for the surgery, and we've now gone back to Dr. A for follow-up closer to home.

Well today we just did a quick visit with Dr. A to check in so he could get updated on her current condition. He confirmed what Dr. Y told us last week--that there is a murmur, mitral valve regurgitation or leakage, that is heard now. This is not abnormal in situations like hers, but we do need to be sure that it is manageable and not out of hand. He also agreed that we need to get an echo done to see exactly what's happening. Since they want to compare it to the ones right after surgery, we're headed back to see Dr. F on Monday. IF it is more than they like to see, they will watch it for a while and then most likely have to do more surgery to repair the problem. Again, that would not be all that abnormal, but we're really hoping it's not needed.

So we're headed to StL tomorrow afternoon since I have an appt Thursday morning with the surgeon who did my surgery to check on this one incision site that is just not cooperating like the other three did. Then we'll hang out until we see Dr. F on Monday afternoon. I'm kind of tired of packing and unpacking that dumb suitcase!

So that's the latest...you're officially up to date!

I'm 6 months old today. Wow...it seems like a lifetime!! Mommy helped me put together a neat thing to share with you, but you should know that it's really for my dad. He's the best Pop a girl could have. Just remember, girls, he's mine and Mommy's, and we're keeping him! Hey Pop, thanks for hanging in there with us for six whole months! Go Team Woods!

Getting ready for Idol!

Here at our house we always watch American Idol from the beginning to the end. I like all the music, and Mommy and Daddy like to make guesses on who will win. I love to sing and listen to songs and Mommy has been singing songs to me since I was a tiny baby, so we do songs every day. We're getting ready for Idol to start soon, so we've been singing extra! Last night, I thought I would do my first movie of singing time. I was in a pretty silly mood and didn't want to be still, but Mommy thought I should let you see anyway. This is the song I know the best, Jesus Loves Me, but it's not my best showing of it, that's for sure. And this is my favorite song from my FAVORITE show... Blue's Clues!!! Usually I can say Blue's Clues really nice and show the hands like Steve does, but I didn't feel like it when Mommy got the camera out. But the Mail song is always fun! (Mommy even got a word wrong but I knew my part!)
