Everything went really well today. She was so good. She let the doctor do an ultrasound on her heart without even flinching. I held her and she was so calm.
The doctor is concerned about the condition, but said that it is really too soon to tell right now. Typically it shows itself around teen years. We will need to have her checked every 5 years.
We will continue to monitor her throughout her life up until young adulthood.
Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to pray for her and hubby both. Hubby's appointment is Halloween day. Maybe we will get some good news. We found out that we were pregnant with Lulee on Halloween so we need some more good news then. :)
As most of you know Hubby's dad had to undergo open heart surgery a few weeks ago due to a condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This disease is hereditary and therefore has the ability to affect Hubby and our daughter Lulee. It also can be a very serious health concern, especially in children.
Hubby is scheduled for testing on Halloween and Lulee is scheduled for testing today. Please say a prayer for both of them that the testing will end up having normal results and that neither one of them will inherit this disease. Also, that Lulee will be calm during her testing as she is scared of doctor's sometimes.
Thank you and I will keep you all posted.

Whoa, whoa, WHOA! What is this? This is the first I've heard of it. I'm obviously behind with talking to you. When you get a chance, you must call me.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers, give Lulee a big kiss from her Aunt Jolie for doing good at the doctor today.
Glad she did well and everything was fine so far. We'll definitely be praying for Hubby!
