Terribly Poetic

Just wanted to let all my readers aware of something significant in our lives. Something that is impacting our family right now and something that needs your prayers. On Monday we had a appointment with a pediatric cardiologist. We had been referred to meet with the specialist because our family doctor had noticed what they call, a “noisy heart.” Our doctor was unsure if it was just a loud murmur or what, so off we went. So on Monday the cardiologist did an ultrasound of Norah’s heart and a few other tests. (Thankfully Norah was a pro star during all the tests) They have determined that Norah has a hole in her heart. For those medically in the know, its a VSD. Needless to say this came at abit of a surprise to us, however, we are told it isn’t uncommon. Right now she is on some medication which hopefully will help. But if these drugs don’t work, then she will have to goto Edmonton for open heart surgery. (Which again we are told isn’t uncommon) We are told the surgery is done quite abit and is very low risk. But if you have kids, then you know that open heart surgery on one of your kids is the furthest thing from what you want for your kids. We have another appointment next Monday to see how the medication is working. Please pray with us that the hole in her heart would close and that God would protect her through this. Pray as well for our family during this stressful time.
