As Edie relaxed on the exam room table today with her foot propped on Dr. Johnson's leg our prayers were answered. We are pleased to tell everyone that Edie's VSD has closed to such a minute size that she will not require any surgery! Edie knew there was nothing to worry about so she just squilled and smiled as he ran the sonogram across her chest.
Dr. Johnson advised us that there is still a very tiny amount of blood that is flowing to the left side of her chamber but it is so little that she will be able to live with this condition. She also still has a very faint murmur, but still this is something she can go through her life without needing any surgery to correct.
I can not tell you what a relief this news has been. A weight has been lifted from our shoulders and we can now focus our energy on new things in Edie's life. We will go again to see Dr. Johnson in 8-10 months just for a routine checkup. Dr. Johnson is fairly confident that on the next visit we will see the hole completely closed.
Edie has been so strong and such a fighter - She is amazing. She is a blessing. She is our Angel from above. Thank you God for sending her to us.
Scott, Michelle and Sweet Baby Edie,
