Jaxton saw the cardiologist today. He had an echo cardiogram and also an EKG. The echo cardiogram took over an hour. That is such a long time for a five month old to have to hold still. Luckily he slept for the first half an hour because after he woke up he wanted to chew on all of the wires and roll all over and he kept arching his back trying to get away.
After a very long 3 hour doctor appointment, he had enough of sitting still. But all of the news was very good. On his last echo, he had a hole in his heart that has totally closed up. Also on his last echo his heart functionality was borderline, today it was 100% normal. The doctor wants to see him again in three months and as long as he hasn't had anymore episodes of the SVT, he will let him start outgrowing his medicine. If all goes well with that, he should be off of the medicine when he is one year and 3 weeks old. Hooray!
We are so grateful that everything is going so well. The inconveniences that we face with his medication and doctor's appointments are so minor. We are so grateful to all of you who have fasted and prayed for him. We know your prayers have been heard and answered. We just love our Jaxton and can't imagine our family without him.
