Bear's Heart Update
For all you who want to know what is going on with Bear we went to the Cardiologist today to get an ECG and she found that his hole is smaller and that is a good sign it will close on his own. It is ok that he has an enlarged side of his heart due to the extra blood pushing through that side of his heart, but it won't cause irreversible damage up to age 5. So what does this mean? They will check his heart every year till it closes and if it doesn't close by age 5 maybe they will finally do something. It is normal for him to play hard and get tired easy because his heart has to work a little harder. As far as him being so tiny she suggested what we have planned after he is two and that is to go see an endroconologist and possible do growth hormones. Not exactly what I was hoping for but what can you do?

I talked to Mark a few hours ago. I guess at least they didn't find the hole bigger. We'll just keep praying that he continues to grow and be healthy.
I am glad to hear things are looking ok so far. I hope they continue to go well and he can stay healthy.
That is good news!! We will keep you and the family in our thoughts an prayers. We wish you the best!!
That is really good news. He is such a cutie!! The girls are getting so big. I haven't seen you guys in forever. Zane is five now...so I guess they are all growing up way to quickly. In April, if Zane hasn't had any more seizures, they will take him off his medication!! Good news on both ends is always great! We wish you well and hope that Logan's health remains in good shape. Saharra and family
