Celebrating!!!

Guess who is no longer a cardiology patient??  JAEDIN!!!!  We were so surprised by this news that we decided a CELEBRATION was in order. 
As some know, Jaedin was born with 2 holes in her heart.  We did not know of her condition until she about 48 hours old.  Scary.  Needless to say, as new parents we were freaked out.  We had the best pediatric cardiologist who continued to calm our fears and educate us the last 8 years.
As of today though, Jaedin no longer has to see a cardiologist.  Complete discharge! At her previous appointment (age 5), they told us the chances of it growing shut were over.  However, today we found out that the true hole in the bottom of heart has apparently closed.  They looked and listened and listened and looked and it was no where to be found in any of the tests.  We are so thankful for this news!!!  The hole in the top of heart (that everyone has in utero) is SOOO small that there is no concern.  In fact, about 15% of people have the same hole and do not even know it. 
T-Rex Cafe, fountains, shopping & Orange Leaf!

Jaedin has never had any restrictions or complications.  She use to have to take medicine before dentist visits and we always told her she couldn't get her ears pierced until she was 18 (we were scared of the infection) so it's no surprise that was one of her first questions.  "Does this mean I can get my ears pierced now?!!!" 
We love you to the moon & back Jaedin!
