Eliza

Eliza had her cardiologist's appointment today. We were originally scheduled for Nov. 4th so I'm glad we got in early!
After getting lost in downtown GR...grrr.... It should have been easy to get there. Can I just say I hate getting lost, driving in downtown GR, one-way streets, construction, and lots of traffic!
Anyway...we finally found the place and it was easy!

They did another EKG and it took less than a minute! The one at Zeeland took about 5 or so. Eliza was so good. She just laid there and hardly moved! The cardiologist was really nice and very personable.
He did hear a murmur when he listened to her heart but he called it an "innocent murmur". A murmur can be common and can indicate a hole in the heart, a defective valve, or other serious heart problems. The murmur he heard did not indicate any of those things. Praise the Lord! It was possible that they were going to have to do an ultrasound and because the patient has to lay still for 15-20 minutes, they usually have to sedate them. He said that was not needed and he just wants to see her back in 2-3 years! Her doctor can just monitor her when she goes in.
Her EKG showed the murmur but that could just be normal for her. He said she looks healthy and is growing well so there are no other signs of a heart condition.

I am so relieved and it helps to have one less worry before the baby comes! God surely does take care of us in EVERY way! Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts. God hears the prayers of His people!
