With all of the tornadoes and bad weather Friday, I completely forgot that it was a special day. Friday marked one year since Sophie had her heart procedure. It is hard to believe that a year has already gone by!
Sophie had a few heart issues after she was born. She had a VSD (ventricular septal defect), PDA (patent ductus arteriosus), and a bicuspid aortic valve. Her VSD closed on its own, but the PDA didn't. Since Sophie was so small and having a hard time gaining weight, her cardiologist decided that it would be best to go ahead and close the murmur. On March 2, 2011 her PDA was closed after inserting an occluder through cardiac catheterization. Sophie still has the bicuspid valve, but everything else is doing great! We are so fortunate to have Children's Hospital so close by. They took wonderful care of Sophie.
