Gracie update!

We had our follow up appointment today with Gracie at the cardiologist! Thank you to everyone who was praying! The body of Christ is so comforting in times like these! Gracie's appointment went well! No new news... Thankfully! The hole is still there and still about the same size as it was the first time. The good news is, the right side of her heart doesn't seem enlarged any more, which we are so thankful for!

Here is my bug, so happy!! Waiting to see the doc! Love this baby girl!




She was so intrigued by all the equipment! Thankfully!!


Here she is getting her echocardiogram! We are so thankful for modern technology like the iPhone for distraction!! She did so well during her echo! That was one of my biggest prayer requests - was that she would be still enough to get a good pic of her heart! Its hard for a 10 month old to lay still for 10 minutes! She did awesome!! Prayers were answered!



Here she is after the echo, waiting to see the doc! Thankful for puffs too!! They are always a good distraction!




It is hard to keep this girl still these days!! She is constantly on the move!! Clearly, her heart isn't slowing her down!! And we are so thankful for that!!


The plan right now is to go back for another echo in May and keep following her closely until she gains enough weight to have a heart cath to close the hole! They want her to be about 33 pounds before they do this procedure! She is 19.5 right now! We are so thankful for the docs the Lord had put in our lives to take care of Gracie! They have been so wonderful. We would ask for continued prayer that she would continue to gain weight and meet all her milestones as she already is doing! We would also ask for continued prayers that the Lord might close the hole on his own! Nothing is out of his reach! We are so thankful for faithful prayer warriors and a faithful God who loves Gracie more than we ever could! And we pray that he would be glorified through this time.
