I just talked to the Cardiologist....

 Zach and I are BEYOND HAPPY to hear her recommendation for Evie.

The cardiologist wanted to hold off on the surgery

and start to change up her medication a bit.

Her heart is had left ventricle hypertrophy that

is improving.  This is where her left ventricle is thicker to

be able to pump the blood where it needs to go. 

(She said usually it can take up to a year to start to improve)

Her heart is already mending!

She did say that although she may need the surgery

down the road, she wants to change up

her medications a bit to see if that helps the blood pressure.

It sounds like quite the process and daily monitoring,

but it is great to be able to explore this option and give her some time to heal.

The cardiologist did find that her entire aorta,

not just the site they were thinking of operating on,

is about 2/3 the size of someone her age.

Because of this, combined with her condition,

she will most likely be on blood pressure medication her whole life.

We are very relieved at this outcome.

We recognize that this doesn't mean she won't need the surgery

down the road, but we are comforted in knowing that the

cardiologist is thinking about the future and taking everything into account.

Thanks to all of you who have been supporting us

and praying for our little Evie.    

By God's grace and eternal love,

we know we can get through anything together.

Enjoy the day...I know I will!
