Cardiology
Our cardiology appointment went great! Macy did a great job being a brave little girl, and we got a great report. Dr. Ebenroth, who by the way was GREAT, said Macy's heart looked good, and that we didn't need to come back for 1 year! We have never had a doctor tell us to come back in a year! Yay! He did say that realistically, Macy will be having another surgery or more. He said that her pulmonary valve will continue to need replaced. She currently has a valve made with some of her own tissue and a gortex-like material. It will eventually give out, and will need to be replaced with an animal valve. Animal valves only last for a certain amount of time also. So we are looking at more heart caths, and open heart surgeries, we just hope it's not for a while!
Dentist
Well, today was Macy's first dentist appointment. I wasn't sure how she would react! I think I was more nervous than her! When the dentist came in, he said, "Well, she looks healthy, and like she has no medical problems." I thought, "Is he seriously talking about Macy? Didn't he see the numerous medications listed, and all the YESs I checked under MEDICAL HISTORY? Did he see her extensive list of surgeries? Doesn't he see the hole in her neck....the one I usually cover with a bandaid (just to spare some stares), that she ripped off in the waiting area?" He then said, "She doesn't have anything wrong with her lungs or heart?" That is when I stopped him and filled him in on my special little girl! She sat and listened, proudly wearing all the scars to prove it.
When he slowly lowered the chair so that he could take a look, she had a mini freakout, and then calmed down when we both promised her stickers afterward. He checked out all her teeth with his mirror, brushed them, and painted some flouride on them. She sat and took it like the big girl she is! I was so proud of her! He said everything looked good, but that he is worried about what the pediasure could do to her teeth, since she drinks so much of it. He gave us some ideas to help with that.
Here are a few pics!
Easter
We had a great Easter weekend! It started off with an Easter egg hunt in our neighborhood. It was so fun to get out and meet some of the neighbors that we haven't met yet. Macy had a blast!
On Sunday morning, Macy was very excited to see that the Easter Bunny had visited. He left Macy a basket filled with lots of springtime activities and some candy (which Mommy and Daddy tend to eat). He also hid 11 eggs around the house...Daddy broke one. Crack!!!
Then we got dressed and headed to Great-Grandpa's for some good food and great company. Macy loved all of the attention....it's not like she doesn't get enough at home.....so I guess she loved the "extra" attention. She had another easter egg hunt, and loved running around the yard searching for all of the eggs. We had a blast!
In a couple days, we are off to Gatlinburg for some relaxation and fun! Please pray for a safe trip there and back!
