{that time of year again}

for the past couple years, isaiah’s cardiologist visits have been cut down to only once a year.  they used to be weekly, then monthly, then twice a year, and now we have graduated to once a year. today’s visit was just like all the others. i’m nervous and anxious the weeks leading up to his scheduled appointment. i’m scared to death that something inside his little heart will have changed and they will give me news i don’t want to hear.  the mere thought of even going down that path terrifies me.

this morning i asked jeff to please purchase one toy and one blowpop or ring pop prior to our appointment.  you see, unless there are several prizes, isaiah will NOT sit still for an EKG, blood pressure test, oxygen test, and most importantly his echocardiogram. oh, and excuse the quality of all these cel phone photos. my real camera was at homeisaiah is liking one of his prizes
isaiah’s dr. and her staff have been amazing since day one.  i am so thankful for their continual kindness to isaiah and our entire family.  all of his test results once again prove his heart continues to heal after his surgery.  why do i worry so much?!? honestly when it comes to isaac and isaiah, it is so hard not to worry. i’m trying to let 1 peter 5:7 sink in!  today, i thank God for granting isaiah health.

^one happy mama….

jeff said that i did a good job at the appointment and that i too deserve a ring pop for not having a nervous breakdown
