Update on Benny...

Everything is AWESOME!!! So we went to clinic today and it was a way short visit- only like two and 1/2 hours so not too bad. And yeah!, everything is great. I always worry now that we're only going every 4 weeks that something is going to happen. I see so many kiddos struggling with their new hearts and wonder why Ben just seems to be sailing through. Is it the calm before the storm? I guess you never stop worrying about your kids, especially those that have a history like Ben's. That's why it's so reassuring to hear that things are going well. I haven't heard about all of his lab tests yet but I assume they're fine and his echo was okay, no worse on the tricuspid regurgitation than last month so that's great! I also ran into a few friends today: Paul (who had his transplant a few weeks ago) and his sweetie Lynette (it's always nice to see them), and Dr. Kouretas (one of the amazing cardio-thorasic surgeons) who remembered us (which made me feel good since I'm terrifed that Ben will be forgotten in a place that always has someone to fill your bed when you leave) and he gave me a quick update on Dr. Hawkins and said that he's hanging in there. Please pray for Dr. Hawkins and all of the little ones at Primary's. And remember to wash your hands A LOT. I don't know why that last bit bears repeating so much, but it sure does this time of year especially.
