Health Update for Our Big Girl

We went to TCH today for Aubrey's scheduled cardiology appointment.  We were SO proud of Aubrey.  We practiced what was going to happen yesterday and I think she felt prepared knowing what was happening.  She laid very still for the whole half hour of the test and didn't even mind all the stickies they put on her for the EKG.  As for the results: things haven't changed.  The numbers were all virtually the same as they have been.  It is good to know that she isn't getting any worse.  As far as the incident that sent us to the hospital in January--there is no new explanation.  It may just be some fluke that we never fully understand.  We will be back in 6 months for her next heart check up.  

These appointments always leave us with mixed feelings.  On one hand we are so thankful for how healthy she is and that things haven't gotten worse.  On the other hand we so much want to hear that she is healed and are reminded of the seriousness of her condition.  For now we just get to enjoy the wonderful girl she is and our life as a family--and do our best to trust our gracious Lord and not worry.
