Good doctor visit!

Today, we took Elyse to see Dr. Cottrill for her one month appointment. I can't believe she is one month old! The visit was very good and we praise the Lord for this! Dr. Cottrill was actually in a meeting so the doctor we saw was the chairman of the pediatric department at UK Childrens Hospital. He was very pleased with Elyse's heart rate, which was 63 when we were there. They did an EKG and said everything looked good. Elyse does NOT like the EKG as they put stickers all over her chest and then we have to pull them off. :-( She also doesn't like the blood pressure cuff getting tight around her ankle... poor little thing. She screams and cries during those parts. :-( The doctor was very positive. He reassured us how "normal" Elyse's heart structure was and said that was a very good thing. He also talked to us about the possibility of a pacemaker down the road when Elyse wants to play sports. Pretty much, we heard the same thing that Dr. Cottrill has been telling us, which is good. He said she wouldn't need to come back for another check up for two more months but I talked him into letting us come back next month. :-) Yes, I'm already an overprotective mommy.

So after a traumatic day at the doctor, our little girl is napping on the couch with her daddy. How precious! Thank you all for your continued prayers for Elyse and our family!
