Shae's check-up on Friday went fantastically well!

Matt and I took a crying, feverish and pained little girl to her x-ray and review on early Friday afternoon and fully expected to re-admit her for further drainage. To my surprise, her x-ray looked better than the one she had taken on Tuesday. Being a little skeptical and thought they must have used the wrong image - but it was correct afterall. Her cardiologist was very happy with the progress and went so far as to say that she had "turned a corner" in her recovery. He is still reluctant to send her back to school, but suggested a couple of half days this week. She is, afterall, still only 4 1/2 weeks out of major open-heart surgery and flu season has begun. But we are progressing well.

We went home with a happy, cool headed and skipping little girl - a marked improvement noted right about the time we walked out of the cardiology department. We suspect perhaps she had some "white coat fever"?

We have had a divine family weekend. So wonderful that I can think of little that could have made it any better.

Praise the Lord a thousand times over....with a cherry on the top!
