Today was Kerry's follow up appointment with her Pediatric Cardiologist for her VSD. She goes every 6 months. This is our third visit since bringing her home and we really like him. So much so that, even though he's not in our insurance "network" which means they cover less of the cost, we still see him. Kerry had an EKG, and an echocardiogram, and she was such a good patient, she never fussed once, which Mommy and the Doctor REALLY appreciated, even with the wires and leads stuck all over her little chest, and the fact that he had to spend a while on the echo to find the VSD and to view her heart from all angles. Oh, and she now weighs 31 1/2 pounds.

6 months ago at her visit, he said that her heart looked great and the hole was very small, although it hadn't really gotten any smaller than her first visit just days after bringing her home. Today he couldn't hear a murmur at all, and it wasn't until he did the echo that he confirmed that the hole is still there, but it has gotten much smaller in the last 6 months. He said it is now so small that the red blood cells have to "line themselves up" to pass through it. Praise God! At this rate, the hole should be closed by her next visit. =)
