Eli at the Doc's, Eli in a Box

Eli had a cardio appointment on Tuesday with his new doctor, and it went really smooth!  Titus came along, he did well.  I brought a charged iPad (which hardly ever happens), some books, and some snacks.  We all survived!

Eli was really calm, stayed still for the EKG and hear echo, and pretty much enjoyed having a lot of attention.

The best part is the good news:  Eli's heart and body are doing exceptionally well.  Yay!
I really like our new doctor, too.  He's very kind, willing to talk and answer questions, and is pretty personable.  He was especially impressed with the repair and work done on Eli, saying it was all really top notch.  I came away from the appointment, once again, in deep gratitude for the care we received at Primary Childrens Medical Center in Salt Lake City.  I've always loved our surgeon, and for good reason.

We are truly blessed.

When he was just a babe, the EKG would cover his whole chest!  It was a bit overwhelming.
Now look at my 40 pound "heart baby" :)

Heart echo while sitting up--that's a first.  He was watching CARS.  Happy boy. 

Eli started to take pictures.  He was pretty obsessed with this BumbleBee poster.
 He took like 20 pics of it in a row! 

Eli put himself in a box last weekend.  It screamed "photo op."  We enjoyed this 5 minutes (my mom helped Eli in and out of the box).
