Hooray For LONDON!

So, today was London's cardiology appointment at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. After hearing a murmur at her 4 week appointment our pediatrician sent us to the hospital to have her heart checked out. After the Dr. did a sonogram of London's heart it was determined that she does in fact have a small hole in her heart(VSD), but it's a small hole that won't need surgery, it should with time close on it's own. For now London will be returning to the cardiologist every 3-4 months until it is closed to check the progress of the hole. We are thankful that this was something minor and something that with time will go away. What a blessing!! Thanks for you prayers during this difficult time! Also, just as a side note, London weighed 8lbs 15oz and was 21 inches long...guess my pediatrician nurses are the ones measuring her wrong! The pictures are from London's floor time with the boys yesterday afternoon, not sure who enjoyed it more London or Waylon!

Praise the Lord! Bless your heart, I know you've been worried. She weighs what our little guy weighed at birth!

She looks so alert in these pictures. Your family is beautiful!

How scary. We had no idea there was anything even wrong. We will keep London in our prayers about this heart stuff. Anything like that is always really scary and we are glad that the doctors seem fairly confident that it's not anything to be drastically concerned about. Are there any side effects to the hole... how does a hole get there anyway?--Just not fully developed? You keep mentioning her weight and length. Are you concerned that she isn't big enough? Is she in the worrisome percentile? ~If you want reply on our comment section of our blog. We love you guys!

Ps. Those kiddo's of yours are stinking cute!
