Heart Update!!!

Robyn sporting her new shorter hair...
that she started to cut herself.

Remember how long, long ago (well, maybe not too long ago) the doctors told us that Robyn could be in one of the 30% groups or the evil 10 percent? Let me refresh you -

KIDS WITH HER HEART CONDITION:
30% get better and won't even need meds
30% will probably need meds but can still live a basically normal life
30% will need a heart transplant
10% die

SO, we've been in the 2nd 30% group and we've been totally fine with that because, well, she's okay and lives a basically normal life. BUT, guess what???

We're going off the meds!!!
YAY!!!!


Because Robyn's been growing and her heart looks completely 100% normal for someone her age / size, we have been given the go-ahead to start weaning her off her remaining medicines! SO, in about 8 weeks, we should no longer have a need for twice a day medication. And if she seems fine still at her next heart appointment (in another 6 months), we are in the clear! We'll only have to check back once a year (if that!) So here's to positive thinking, relying on the Lord and extra prayers (and medicine!)

LOTS of love and thanks to you all!
