Doctor Visit Update

Eva's appointment went well.  It was very hard to watch her cry when she got her shots.  She seemed to be more upset this time than last time.  We had some routine questions that the doctor answered and everything looked good.  He said that she had a little bit of a cold that should probably be gone by Friday.

There was one concern.  When Eva was first born there was a heart scare.  Right before we were leaving the hospital they ran almost 10 different tests.  They said things seemed to be OK for now but to keep an eye out for certain things.  At the doctor today he heard a heart murmur and said that he wants her to have an echocardiogram (ultrasound on the heart).   He said 95% of babies get a heart murmur and among them 99% of the time there is no problem.  But combined with her "low resting heart rate" they want to do this test.

Please pray for Eva Mae that she is healthy and that nothing is wrong!  We know that the Lord is in control and that we can trust in that.

I'll be praying about the heart tests. Hopefully, it's something she'll outgrow. I need to get the rest of Taeya's 6 month shots done. She only got one so far and didn't cry at all. She was distracted by the music mobile and it really helped! Eva's already 2 lbs bigger than Taeya. I'm trying to put some fat on my little girl...she just won't keep it on.

God answers prayer! We'll be praying for her. After what we just went thru w/ Colty, we're reminded of what God can and WILL do when we ask. It's good to get as many people praying as possible! Keep us posted!
