Children's Heart Clinic

Today was our much anticipated visit to the Children's Heart Center at the Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. I was a nervous wreck and I think Nate was too, but he kept thinking about what Dr. Jones said and that calmed his nerves a bit! First, I picked Kenna up from daycare and we headed to McDonald's for a Happy Meal lunch date :)


Then it was off to meet Daddy at the hospital! We first went with the nurse to get her height and weight recorded, then it was right to the EKG. We thought we were going for the echocardiogram, but it turned out we got the EKG instead - she had about 10 little stickers all over her with wires everywhere, but she took it like a champ of course! Once that was done, we waited for Dr. Hills to come talk to us. Thankfully when she came in the room, it was all good news! Kenna has a healthy heart and nothing we need to worry about. Her EKG was normal and works a little harder than the rest right now, but as she grows, it will continue to go away and eventually should be gone for good. She explained to us a lot of little details that Nate seemed to understand more than I did :) I just cared that she was OK!!! Oh and Dr. Hills son used to be a student of Nate's - goodness what a small world!

Being at Children's today made me remember just how lucky we are to have a healthy little girl. It was a small scare, but we feel so blessed she is OK and we could leave there with an easy heart (no pun intended!)

Til next time...
