Cole has been off his heart medication for just over 6 months, and was due for a heart check in at Children's Hospital.
It has been 9 months since he last saw Dr. Saleeb, and this time she was meeting Kyle and Hailey too =)
I had remembered the pure terror I felt the first time I had ever gone there. Sick to my stomach with nerves wondering if my newborn would be OK. Now, here we were 18 months later and Cole was walking around and playing with Kyle and Hailey.
My happy baby (who is posing here saying "cheese") got a fantastic review from his cardiologist and her team.
Still too young to be fully released Dr. Saleeb saw nothing to be concerned about and our plan is for him to wear another 24 hour heart halter in a YEAR just to check in.
In a YEAR!!! That's HUGE!
She did warn that he could experience irregular heart beats again, or go into tachycardic states. Maybe even when he is 5 or 6 years old which is why he won't be fully released, but she is fairly confident Cole should not experience that.
We are just so thankful for every one's love, thoughts and prayers especially pertaining to Cole's heart. He is a happy, healthy, thriving little guy and we are so thankful to have Nugget in our lives.
