The Best News Ever!

We took Sawyer to the cardiologist for a follow up appointment. He blew them away with his healthy self! His pulmonary pressures were great. His valves were in good shape. The places that were surgically repaired looked wonderful. The spots that closed on their own, looked fantastic. Everything was A-O-K! Even better news.....he doesn't have to go back for 2 years! That's right. He'll be almost 5 before he has to see the cardiologist again. Can't ask for anything better than that.

On a side note, our cardiologist is also an accomplished artist. He has art shows for his paintings/drawings. He's apparently a very talented man. He picked up a doodle pro (magnetic drawing pad) that Sawyer was doodling on. He was very much impressed with Sawyer's scribbles. He said they had a Picasso-like quality to them. I said, "I think that has to do with his wrist not being very stable." (OK... I'm a mom and I think all their drawings are beautiful but I don't see things in terms of "Oh my God, I've got a artistic whiz on my hands") He was quite serious. He said, "You need to keep a pencil in this little guy's hands". So now Sawyer's two very left brained parents have to find ways to enhance their little guy's right brained abilities. No telling what the outcome of that adventure will be.
