Thankful

Today was Madelyn's visit to the Cardiologist. The Doc says her EKG looked great and the hole in her heart has not grown any larger. Madelyn has grown a few inches so the Doc says this is good news, it means that while her heart is growing with her body it is not making the hole any worse....so far. She tells us that Madelyn being so active is a good sign that she is doing well and striving just as a 4 year old should. However, they feel that medication is probably needed to control her blood pressure as she grows. Our Doc will be meeting with a team of cardiologists next week and they will review Maddies charts and decide whether or not the medication is needed. Right now it looks as though it is, just to be on the safe side. They did tell us that Madelyn will have open heart surgery, just not right now. She will continue to have heart tests done every six months until they feel she needs the surgery. They tell us that if she can wait until her teenage years, it would be much better because most of her growing would be done.

Maddie is a very active and healthy little girl, we are thankful for the good news today and although we know now what her future holds we are sure that God will take this in His hands. The Doctor was very positive and continued to tell us how happy she was with Maddies tests today.

We also found out today that Madelyn is going to be able to attend a private Pre-School just as Joshua did a few years ago. Up until today we thought she could not get in due to them being full, but they have an opening and she starts August 19th. We are thankful for this news because the education Joshua got at this school was fabulous and he was more than prepared for Kindergarten!

Joshua is registered for 2nd grade and getting excited although he says he is not ready for the summer to be over with he is ready to meet his new teacher and see his friends again.

OH HOW COULD I FORGET, more good news to end with. I am going to be an AUNT!!! My brother Ryan and his wife Jeni are expecting a baby and found out today she is due April 1st.....and April fools baby,.....those of you that know my brother know how perfect that is :) We are all very excited for them and are praying for a safe and healthy next 8 months!

God has been overly blessing our family, our business is striving and has never been better. We now have 5 full time employees going strong and each day we are thankful for what He is providing us with. We never imagined that in four years we would have built such a business....let me rephrase that, GOD built our business and we just work there. He has provided every customer that walks through our door and every job we get, we are blessed beyond words.

Well, after a long day its off to bed for a tired, stuffy head and nose Jennifer for some much needed rest.

Love to all.
