Today was a great day. We took Mallory to the cardiologist to get her MRI results. When she had her MRI a month ago, they told us her enitre aorta was narrowed or small and not just the portion they repaired. Of course that's all they told us, so we weren't sure what that would mean. She had an ultrasound of her heart today to measure the amount of blood that was passing through the aorta. It turns out it a good amount is passing through!!! The doctor is hoping that her aorta will grow and expand as she does. Perhaps a balloon dilation or a stent could be necessary later in life, but for right now he is pleased. He even lowered one of her blood pressure medicines and we are soooooo excited about that. She has to go back in 6 weeks to check her blood pressure. It was a very exciting and happy day. Mallory had a sundae at Friday's to celebrate!!!!
