Awesome News!!!!

Broc saw cardiology yesterday.

Walking down the dreaded corridor. My stomach is always in knots everytime I walk this path. Of course all Broc wants to see is his heart on the screen. He loves to see his heart and hear it beat.

Lying still like a statue for his EKG. This is always hard for him, but I distracted him with the spinning light that he loves so much.

All done and waiting for Dr C to come in and talk to us. Well as you can see the news was great. There is no new change to his heart function. The leakage or regurgitation is still in the moderate range. Dr C said that he has seen kids stay like this well into their teens. That would be awesome if Brocs heart will stay like this for that long.

Thank you all for the love,prayers and support as always.

We celebrated with a family dinner last night.YUM!!

A bundle of nerves

Tuesday will be Brocs cardiac check up. It was originally in Nov but because we thought that he was going to have vascular surgery to repair his blockage we had his heart app bumped up. Fortunately he is not having any vascular surgery soon.

I am always a bundle of nerves when the time comes for any big appointment. With Broc we just never know what his body is going to throw at us. I go into these appointments expecting the worst and then be amazingly surprised when they tell us all is well and to come back next year.

I know MANY of you will tell me that is not the way to look at things but that is how I handle things. I have gone into so many appointments being positive only to be blind sided by bad news.

He is doing really well.He has been ill with a virus but really seems to be bouncing back much faster.He is doing well in school too.A little behind but coping well.

I will update everyone tom with the news good or bad.

Thank you for all your love and support and prayers. Without my friends,family and supporting husband and Jehovah I would never get through days like these.

Philly Trip no. 2

While we were in Philly for the second time for our brain imaging, we took the last day and did something fun. This is the boys in the lobby having fun with all the mechanics.

Mark getting his stickers. Broc didn't end up getting any scans done due to his heart and ear tubes. He was not upset at all!! 

Of course we cannot leave there without a little dj ing. The boys had a blast as usual.

We went to the Franklin Institute for the morning. We did not see everything as we only had 2 hours before we had to leave for the airport but we made the most of our time while there.

Here are a few of the things we saw while we were there.

Wish we had more time to spend there. We never got to see the third floor even. But so happy with what we were able to see. A great place to visit with kids.

A long weekend

Although we had lots of sickness for the whole weekend we had some fun with Bounty Hunter. The boys love it when daddy has him charged up. They each got a turn to drive him for the first time.

Everyone is on the mend and back to school.
