1 More Year!!!

Anniek had her cardiologist appointment today and we got to meet the new cardiologist, but I do not remember what the name is of the one that we saw...or if that is Anniek's cardiologist. They had scheduled us in for today when her old cardiologist was still here and apparently forgot to put that she had an appointment today when the cardiologist left so they were surprised to see us...but we still got the appointment today.
Anniek didn't cry at all for the EKG for the first time! Anniek is also up to 26.7 lbs now...she let the nurse weigh her and measure her like a champ! She also let the nurse take her O2 sats no problem this time...and for the first time in I couldn't tell you how long she let someone take her blood pressure and she even stayed nice and still for them...not only 1 time but 2 times on her arm and 2 times on her leg!!!
For the Echo Anniek laid down for the tech very well and held onto her stuffed cat and watched Dora. Then after her Echo was done Anniek wanted the cat to have one too...so the tech let Anniek give her cat an "Echo" and seeing as the cat obviously didn't have a heart to get pictures of she put Anniek's heart on the screen for her to see!
The cardiologist said that Anniek's LPA is narrow (big surprise...it always is). It is narrower then it was last time but she thinks that it will be fine for now. She wants to do more tests after Anniek's next Echo, like a lung scan, but she feels that Anniek will be fine for the next year...so we do not have to go back for another YEAR!!! I am not sure how I feel about this with her LPA being more narrow then last time and them feeling that she will need the lung scan after her next appointment. I even double checked that they were SURE that they don't want to see her for another year because of this...and they said that they were sure.
While at the appointment we also got to see Yale, he was stopping in to say "Hi" to everyone...He is so cute in his pictures...but SO much cuter in person!

Hey Kat
It was nice seeing you...I hate meeting people in hospitals...but luckily we weren't there for any reason other than to pick up so pediasure...and I was showing Yale off to the girls because the last time they saw him he was VERY sick.

Glad to hear anniek is doing well!
