GREAT NEWS!!!!!!

I wanted to post this a couple days ago, but there have been some really long nights and I haven't had time. Zechariah had his follow up Cardiologist appointment on Wednesday. Due to the rough delivery (emergency c-section), there was some damage to his heart. I can't remeber the exact medical terminology, but in short he had a couple heart murmurs and then something called TM (shortened version). The heart murmurs, well they were confident would close up and they have, but they wanted to follow up to make sure that this TM problem was also cleared up.

We were in the appointment for just over two hours and Zech did amazing! He had two tests done and had to be hooked up to all of these wires and stuff. The worst part was the Echo (ultra sound pictures of the heart), as they had to swaddle his arms so he couldn't move them (he absolutely hates being swaddled) and then they swaddled his legs too. He didn't cry and he stayed really still (this is a miracle for him). Just near the end he started getting a little fussy as he just wanted to move. He is such a little trooper!

Praise the Lord, another answered prayer! Zechariah's little heart is great and he is doing really well. They also measured him and weighed him. He is in the 75th percentile for his weight and the 90th percentile for height. These past 8 months (almost) have been such an emotional roller coaster not to mention the pregnancy and all of the other stuff that we have had to deal with. God is so great and I am so thankful that He is such an integral part of our lives. Someone to lean on, someone to give all of the hurt, pain, stress, and anxiety to and trust that He will always see us through it! Wow!!! (as I choke back the tears......)

Here's our cool little dude! :o)
