Our Queen Of Hearts

Today we had a cardiology follow-up for Emilia at our local children's hospital.  By all tests and measures, Emilia is doing great.  Her EKG is normal, her oxygen saturation is fantastic, and her scar is healing beautifully (more on that in another post).  As we knew prior to the surgery, she continues to have a mild heart murmur which is completely safe and normal.

Emilia's surgery is considered a total success.  Everything has turned out so well, in fact, that today we were told that Emilia will not need antibiotics for the rest of her life whenever she has a dental or other medical procedure.  This is such wonderful news.  We will have another follow-up in 3-4 months and if everything comes up clear then, Emilia will only need to see her cardiologist every 1-2 years from there on out.

We love our Queen of Hearts!
