31 for 21 and Cardiologist Update

Well, I'm attempting it again - blogging everyday in the month of October to help raise awareness for T21 or Down syndrome. I'll write a bit more tomorrow about why I'm doing this challenge and how it has helped me in the past. Most posts may be short and sweet but it's still an improvement from my lack luster blogging as of late.

Today, Jonathan had his one-year 14 month check-up for his heart.  When he got home last summer, his heart was checked since he was listed as needing "urgent heart surgery".  We continue to praise God for His healing touch that surgery was not necessary! Last summer, he was diagnosed with a small PDA and a bit larger than normal PFO.  Today, however, his PDA is too small to small to worry about and his PFO has shrunk too. Praise God! Dr. F doesn't want to see him until he turns four years old.  He said if he didn't have Down syndrome, he would release him now. But since he does, he will follow up in two years and then most likely release him. YAY!!!!  (For more information on what a PDA and PFO are, check out my post from last summer.)
