Matters of Abby's Heart:: 6 Week Post-Op

August 26th Abby had her 6 week post-op appointment with Dr B. She had the normal tests-an EKG & an Echo. Then Dr B. came in to talk about the test results. It was all great news! The fluid around her heart was gone! The patch looked amazing! She was cleared of all her restrictions! And she has almost gained a full pound since surgery (24.4 lbs)! The pulmonary valve is still showing some narrowing but Dr B is confident she will out grow it. He also said her scare looked amazing! We have been working to make her very proud of her "boo-boo". We tell her constantly that she is a heart warrior and that that boo-boo is something she should be very proud of. Whenever people ask her how her boo-boo is doing she immediately lift up her shirt to show them her scar! Abby doesn't have to go back to see Dr B for 3 months!
