A visit to the cardiologist

So this morning I had to take Zac to see his cardiologist in Sacramento for a follow up appointment for one of the holes in his heart. When he was born he had two holes in his heart, one was tiny and the other was small. I was informed at the time that those descriptions are very different in size. The small hole closed about a year ago but he still had his tiny hole. When we were at the dr's office today, he did an ekg on Zac to check on the progress of the tiny hole. Apparently it is still there but because it is so minor they don't have to do anything to it. Also there are no effects to the hole. His cardiologist wants to see Zac back in two years to recheck the hole again. If it still isn't closed then they would have to do some procedure to close it but it doesn't require surgery. (thank goodness, he has had plenty of those already)

After his appointment, we went to Ikea and had lunch and walked around the store. I had a good time with him this afternoon. He was so sweet to be around.
