She was as charming as ever in the waiting room making friends, she babbled and smiled at the nurse doing her vitals and EKG and then again with the ECHO technician. The doctor was mesmerized as well by her sweet disposition.
Children with Down syndrome have a 40% chance of having heart issues and because it had been reported to us that Sofia had an open oval window we were concerned that she may fall into that percentage. Dr. Choy said Sofia beat the odds on that one. He said her heart is "perfectly normal" that she is "obviously thriving" and seems to be "very healthy." GREAT words to hear from a health professional.
Just a few more specialty appointments (ears and eyes) and we will be ready to move on with life as usual!
Here is Sofia on the exam table...such a doll baby!
She is really just TOO MUCH!!!!! We were told the same thing re: the oval window and happy to learn he was also perfect!

Great news! We received the same news as well! I just want to come "steal" her from you guys. She is too cute and I think she and Nadia would make great sisters. (Ok, just kidding...but really they would--especially with the bows!!) Michael, our youngest, has already picked out another sister for Nadia. We're praying about what's next for us...we'll see. :)
