Heart Check-up

Calla had her doctor's appointment with a pediatric heart specialist on Tuesday and she got a big thumbs up. The doctor could no longer hear the heart mummer that was heard while we were at the hospital. He felt that her Ventricular Septal Defect (a few holes between the two lower chambers of the heart) have closed up as the muscles got bigger. So we will have our doctor continually listen for a mummer, but if nothing is heard we are in the clear and it should not be a problem. YEAH!!

We had a great visit with Uncle Steve the last few days. He flew back to Flagstaff this morning. He had a good time holding and bonding with little Calla.
