The girls went to the dr for a checkup about 2 weeks ago...the pediatrician heard a heart murmur in Lucy's heart so she wanted us to go to a pediatric cardiologist.
We took her yesterday to CHOA where she had an EKG and Echocardiogram. In typical Lucy fashion she talked almost the whole 4 hours we were there and won the hearts of everyone in the place. One of the nurses said I should bring her everyday, because she loved to hear her laughing...thanks but no thanks! If you know her, you know she enjoys going to the doctor, so she wasn't bothered by the tests at all. It was just a field trip for her. She had to tell Nana all about it so she could write it into her school journal for her.
The tests show that she has an Atrial septal defect (ASD) or a hole between the wall in her heart that separates the upper heart chambers. It is a Congenital Heart Defect which basically means that she was born with it. The Doctor said that it was very small and that it could possibly still close on its on, but if it was going to it would do so in the next year. We have to take her back next fall to check up on it, but we are believing that the Lord will take care of it before next year!
