God is Good!

Well, I couldn't very well update the blog without any photos, so here are some of Andrew playing the wind chimes in Papa & Machie's back yard. It's one of his favorites : )

The real reason for the blog update it Andrew's cardiology appointment today. Daddy took Dizzy this time & he said Andrew did awesome. It was good news & good news! For the good news, he was able to have his EKG & Echocardiogram done in the clinic like a big boy. Since we brought him home almost 3 years ago, Andrew has only had echos (ultrasound of his heart) done while under anesthesia. What a relief for us that he was able to hold still to have it done in the clinic now. And for the good news ; ) the results were great. His heart continues to do better than expected! It's still not certain how/if his body will tolerate the 3rd surgery that completes the 3 stages of repair for a single ventricle heart, so his cardiologist feels since he's doing so well right now we'll just look at that possibility a year or two down the road. And if he can't have the 3rd surgery, there are other possibilities to help him out. For now, we are in the clear & don't have to go back to the clinic (unless a need arises) for A YEAR. We are so excited! It never ceases to amaze me the miracle Andrew is - how awesome it is to hear a doctor say he can't explain it, but Andrew's doing so well. God really is awesome & He's not held back in the least demonstrating that in our Andrew! What a blessing this boy is!
