The news!

So we ventured out to U of M this morning feeling pretty good! We were runnning on time (which never happens in the mornings for us) and everyone was in fairly good moods. Travis went with us today. He had to stay home again today because his asthma is just still going hay-wire!

Despite the roads being awful today we did arrive on time. AS we are walking in I just feel my stomach just knot up...walking in there just floods the memory bank in my head and stirs up all kinds of emotions. We walk in without strollers or diaper bag just us and the kids hand in hand, past the infamous "big bird", to the badging station, and down to floor one-peds cardio. The looks on everyone's faces as Elijah walked in was just to die for! They couldn't believe that this was the sick little boy that was just there months prior. Needless to say his doc was VERY PLEASED! He was 35 pounds! The doc says "ummm, I think it is time to stop the pediasure. Time for a REGULAR calorie diet!" Seriously??? I couldn't believe it! His SPO2 sats's were 92-94% and his EKG was fabulous. They said that he has a great sounding heart and that is is a "very healthy fontan"!! Hip hip hooray!!! He is off ALL meds except a baby aspirin on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And the best of all...no check up for a WHOLE YEAR!!!

GOD IS SO GOOD!
