Ally's Heart - take 2

I have amazing news!

I know all of you are not religious, but Ben and I are so moved by the amazing grace we have received that I must share the details from my heart. I am a part of MOPS which is a "Mothers of Preschoolers" group at my church. We only meet twice a month and I have only really just begun to make friends there. Well, the group was meeting at the exact time Ally's appointment and they did a prayer for Ally's heart.

Remember that Dr. Ramos said the diagnosis would be one of two things, a hole in her heart (the most common) or a leaky valve. After a long, quiet, dark and otherwise uncomfortable test using an ultrasound machine. Dr. Ramos was amazed to find NOTHING wrong with Ally's heart, nothing abnormal, nothing unusual, nothing that shows any signs of ANYTHING!

Ben was almost in tears (sorry Ben) I had chills and was speechless (amazing in itself). Dr. Ramos read my mind's questions when he continued unprompted, saying...she will not be limited in any way, physically, she can play sports, immunity, she is healthy and strong, developmentally, she will continue grow with no worries. He went further to say, she will grow up, get married, have children, and her heart will be PERFECT. He used the word perfect repeatedly. You all know me well, and he answered all my questions without me needing to speak. He truly is an amazing man with incredible bedside commitment.

He said we will never need to return to his office unless her pediatrician recommends it.

I am so thrilled to be passed this obstacle. I am amazed that GOD has granted us this peace and truly feel that HIS presence was with Ally through that day.

I already feel more confident as a parent for her, I feel that she has made me stronger and has taught me so much already!

THANK YOU for your thoughts and prayers, we are so appreciative! Hug someone you love today and be THANKFUL for you health and theirs!
