Carlee's ECHO


We took Carlee for her heart ECHO Thursday. She did great. It took about 45 minutes for the lady to get 7 pictures of her heart. She told us they always dread seeing a baby on the schedule but she said Carlee was a wonderful patient. She even slept through most of it. An ECHO is ultrasound of the heart. When we got in the room Jeffrey told the lady, "whatever you do don't tell me my wife is pregnant." The machine is just like the machine they use when you are having an ultrasound when you are pregnant. The lady didn't quite understand the humor because we only had Carlee with us. We should hear from the doctor tomorrow. The lady showed us the murmur so we know it's still there but the doctor will be able to tell us if it has gotten smaller. He's hoping that it will close up when she is about 6 months. While we were at Baptist we decided to go see the nurses in the NICU. The babies have finally out grown their preemie clothes so we decided to donate them to the NICU. All the nurses that took care of the girls loved seeing Carlee and really appreciated the clothes. They said we couldn't come back without Kalee next time. We were able to see several nurses but missed seeing a few that were off that day and wished we could see some of the night nurses.

Just wanted you to know that we will be praying for God to touch her little heart murmur. Reagon had one as a baby and now is it completely healed.
