Our Hearts Are Grateful!

At Roswell's yearly check-up, his doctor heard a heart murmur and thus referred us to a heart specialist.  Dan and his sister both have mitro-valve prolapse, so we needed to find out what the murmur was, if it was serious and would require surgery and/or medication, and more info. 
Thankfully Dan's parents were visiting, so we left them with our other children while Dan and I took Ross to the Children's Heart Hospital to meet with the doctor.
After an EKG and a few doctors listening, we found that Roswell doesn't have 1 heart murmur, he has 3, all in different locations.  But thankfully, the doctor said he classifies them as really loud "innocent" murmurs.  They should heal as he gets older and won't have any limitations, medications, or any special treatment of any kind.
Our prayers were answered!  We couldn't imagine having to restrict our very active 3 year-old from being a crazy boy!  :)

We went to the store afterwards, and Ross got to ride the penny horse to celebrate.  We are so grateful that Roswell is alright!
