Positive Report

Another great report during our annual cardiology visit this morning. Still hearing the murmurs that are expected with the repair she had, but nothing else. Its anticipated that she will need valve surgery still in her late teens early twenties, though as we've said before that procedure will be done through drive-thru surgery by that time.



The trip to the cardiologist also accompanied a great trip back to Rochester for Easter. Good time with both the Merles and Doyles. This shot is with her cousins Hannah and Abbey after a bit of jumping on the bed. I didn't realize the girls weren't allowed to jump on the bed until after a good 15 minute supervision of the hysterical activity (Sorry Becky and Kevin).

I realize life is filled with precious, simple moments. Those moments are exemplified by Evie.

I love that girl for all the simple and wildly complex things she's shown, taught and asked of me.
