Heart Update

Today we took Ryan to see Dr. Chandramouli for his heart checkup. He had a chest x-ray and an EKG, but did not have to have the echocardiogram. The Dr. says the hole is still there, but it is smaller. He can tell this just by listening. He must have expert ears. He believes the hole may close in the next six months. He told us that nothing bad is going to happen to Ryan and not to worry. His next checkup is Dec 11. Ryan, of course, laid perfectly still during the EKG. How did I get so lucky? I think he was waiting for them to poke him with something and was saving his energy to scream!
