Megan's Check up:)

The other day megan had her yearly appointment with her heart Dr. Victoria Judd. Megan was such a good girl this time. I think it gets better every year since she is older and knows what is going on. When she was little all she knew was some stranger was putting weird stickers on her with cords attached to them while mommy was holding her down. This time i told her ahead of time that the Dr. would be putting stickers on her belly then hooking long cords to the stickers. She did awesome she just laid there, i think it helped that i left brother & sister with aunt kari. THANKS KARI! four years ago in April Megan had open heart surgery to fix Atrial septal defect(ASD), Bicuspid aortic valve & Patent ductus arterious(PDA). I don't think i will EVER forget that day. After everything that happened that day including my little angel not wanting to wake up from the anaesthesia and a pic line going wrong and making her whole leg look black, and getting R.S.V a couple days after returning home. Man what a day, but she is totally healthy she is a very active, happy girl. When they went in to fix the two holes in her heart they found out that she has Wolff-Parkinson- White Syndrome (W.P.W) an extra airway to her heart. Someday she May have to have it fixed by going threw her thigh with a laser.

This is her scare today, it looks WONDERFUL. I am so grateful every day for my little Megan

I'm glad that everything turned out o.k. I can't imagine having to go threw that. What a fighter.

Wow! I had no idea you all went through so much. I'm so sorry and I am so glad everything's okay now. What a cutie! I definitely think the kiddos that go through a lot when they're little end up having the most spunk. When Carter was born he had already stopped breathing and was blue and then after a week in the hospital he got to come home. Then he was in the hospital with RSV at 6 weeks and came home on oxygen. You know most of our little Tre issues. Those are our spunky two. I can't even imagine everything you went through. So glad you two were able to have some time and she did so well today! :)
