Cardiologist appointment today

Today we had our appointment with the pediatric cardiologist. It went quite well, actually. He had an EKG done (which he was quite still for and was SOOOO good) and he also had a doppler ultrasound w/3D imaging. (This was REALLY, REALLY cool to look at. So cool that Matthew wanted to see it too as the technician was doing it.) After that, we saw the doctor and he read the tests and said that they were perfect! He saw NO abnormalties. He listened to Matthew's heart and took his blood pressure and said, "Yep, he has a murmur alright and it's quite pronounced. *meaning loud*". Other than that, it's a "Innocent Stilles Murmur".......layman's terms? It's something that Matthew will either grow out of or not. It will NOT hold him back from doing anything. It's just something that we have to keep track of and that's it. Oh, Matthew could grow outta it or it could come back. It's just the way his heart works....and the way his chambers within his heart work. Plain and simple. So YEAH GOD! Thank you for all the prayers!!!! His heart is just fine and LOUD! :o)

On another good note, this morning before we left for the cardiologists office, Matthew came up to me (Mommy) and pointed to the bathroom. I asked if he had to go to the bathroom and he shook his head YES. DO YOU KNOW THAT HE USED THE POTTY?!?!?! He did both things that he needed to do and then fell in the potty! Why did he fall in the potty? Because Mommy was too busy calling daddy to tell him that his son was using the potty!!!! (All mommy could do was laugh as Matthew wasn't too happy about it!) ROFL Too funny! Matthew now uses the Dora the Explorer "little potty" made for little, um, bums! LOL

Ok, now tomorrow we head back to the pediatricians office for a follow up on his ear infection. I know Matthew still grabs his left ear. I'm not sure the infection is gone. I hope it's better. Maybe we'll get his results of his hospital tests.

Anyway, REJOICE with us that our son's heart is loud and OK!!!!!!!!!!
