Doctors Appt.



Hi Everyone. We are back from the dr. appt. and things went pretty well. Reese still has the hole and the left side of her heart is still enlarged. However, the tissue around the hole has grown which is restricting blood from moving through the hole a little more. This is good news. We're hoping and praying this tissue continues to grow and closes up the hole. Since she isn't showing any signs of heart failure and the tissue has grown some the doctor wants to hold off on surgery and see if things will continue to progess. We go back again next month. The doctor did say that he won't let her go longer than a year old without surgery if her heart continues to be enlarged and the hole doesn't continue to close. Thank you for your prayers. Please keep it up!

Just happened to come across your blogger today and saw your story about your daughter. I was born with a hole in my heart 36 years ago and was healed by The Almighty.

After my parents took it to prayer I was healed and the Dr's were astonished and could not believe the miracle that just took place.

Keep your love and faith in the Lord for by His stripes we are healed. Reese will be in my prayers.
