We went to our local pediatric cardiologist for our follow-up appointment today and received surprising news: Simi never has to return. His heart defect is completely fixed!
The doctor listened and did a short ultrasound to check for fluid around the heart and/or leaks in the patch - both of which are common complications. Everything looks perfect.
Raj and I were both thrilled. Simi was excited that we can now leave the doctor's office and go pick up acorns.
We've never had a cardiology appointment where we didn't make a follow-up appointment. It seemed weird to walk out of there knowing that we won't return.
Our challenge now is to keep this increasingly energetic kid from hurting himself. It takes some time for his bones to heal and we're supposed to keep him calm. HA! This kid has more energy than ever and it's really hard to keep him from running around.
And for the curious, the size of the hole (or should I say: former hole?) is about the size of a quarter.
