Mattie's heart

Here's my little trooper getting her heart check up. Her patch has held wonderfully and the enlargement is completely gone. However, during the ultrasound the doctor saw a blockage in the main (aortic) valve. She explained that this is a common problem in kids that have had the ASD repair. We will follow up in 6 months to see if the blockage is larger and make sure that the blood flow is still 100%. If it grows, she will need another surgery. Pray with us that it wont be necessary. Our sweet little girl has been through so much with her health. What a miracle she is.

Def. praying that the blockage doesn't restrict the flow, and that she WON'T need further surgery!
