We HEART Maddux

We are so lucky to live in the US where we have such wonderful health care. A couple months ago Maddux's regular pediatrician detected a slight heart murmur while doing a routine exam. She wasn't worried at all about it but thought it would be a good idea to get it check out just in case. I was only worried about it because I wasn't worried about it. I know that sounds weird but I'm the momma and I can be weird.

While we were waiting Maddux drove his car up and down the art work (not fine art). They had no toys in the first waiting room so this was the only option.

It had a road which meant Lightening McQueen had to explore.

Watching Wall-E in the second waiting room. No toys. Didn't make much sense.

It was nice to get to spend some time with Maddux alone. Just Kellen, him and I. His doctor gave him a good report. He has two holes in his heart. One being between the top ventricles which about 25 percent of Americans have and go on to live normals lives. The second one is between the lower ventricles and is about the size of a piece of hair. It's definitely not supposed to be there but isn't big enough to cause any concern. Pretty much the doctor said..."He is a perfectly normal, healthy child." We had no need to watch him or monitor his activity. We will go back in a year (on Valentine's day, thought that was cute) to see if it is gone.

I have come up with a new nickname that Kellen doesn't think is appropriate but I think is cute. He is my little swiss cheese heart. Cute, right??? Anyways, thank you for praying for my sweet little man. We are so blessed to have three healthy children. Nothing like going to a children's hospital to put your life into perspective.
