What a busy summer it’s been! I can’t believe that the summer is almost over, and Alexandra starts kindergarten next week! She’s very excited; however, I believe subconsciously, I’m worrying she is growing up too soon. Just last night, I dreamed that we were letting her drive a car (looking like she does now!), and she crashed into the back of someone else!
As you may remember, earlier in the year, we were very disturbed to hear that her leaky aortic valve had gotten worse. We did have a check up with her cardiologist at the end of July. Naturally, we wanted to hear that everything was better and that there was no problem anymore. Unfortunately, things don’t happen that way! The good news is that it was not worse; the bad news is that it wasn’t any better either. Her cardiologist adjusted her medicine again, hoping that the increased dosage will keep up with her weight gain. So, we are back to the every four months schedule.
As bad as that was, the worst news came when her cardiologist, who first diagnosed her and has been with her since the beginning, announced his retirement! Then, I just found out that her beloved pediatrician moved away. These people become so important in your lives that it’s very upsetting to see them go! While there are other terrific doctors in their practices, I know it just won’t be the same! Have any of you gone through this?
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!
