Here we are at the end of CHD Awareness Week and though I don’t feel like I did as much as I “usually” do to spread awareness, I had my own precious heart hero to tend to. Trevor has been having chest pain for a while on and off, but it seems to be getting worse. So since he was really complaining and upset we took him to the ER at Dell Children’s on Sunday. Everything checked out ok and we went home. We got to see snow when we left the hospital. The boys LOVED that. On Monday Dr. Shaffer,  his cardiologist, wanted to see Trevor so we re-did the EKG, Echo and he talked with Trevor for quite a while about his pain. He was a champ! He did such a good job answering all the questions :) Dr. S decided we should to a cat scan, to get a look at everything much closer and clearer than the echo. Trevor was amazing! He was scared but was SO brave. The staff at DCMC have been wonderful. Good news is that there is nothing urgent or suspicious with Trevor’s heart, THANK YOU GOD!  However, he will need his stent ballooned open this summer. Thank you for all the prayers and please keep them coming. I hate to see my baby in pain. :*(

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
