Ethans Doctor Visit

We took Ethan in for his yearly check up on Friday. I thought it would be just a normal exam, in and out. He seems like a typical healthy little boy to me. As his doctor, Dr. Katie, was listening to his heart she started to get a really funny look on her face. This is sometimes normal for her, if you know our doctor. But this time she continued and then the looks got more serious. She started having Ethan lay down and sit up, and lay down, and sit up, all the while listening to his chest. She was going up into his neck to hear the heart beat and that started to make me well, panic!!! We all now what a calm person I am, even when I'm not pregnant. Anyway she thought years ago that he might have a heart murmur, but that it wasn't a big deal. But this time it sounded a lot different than a murmur. She had another doctor come in and he did the same exam, poor Ethan got his ab workout for the day. He told her he'd have a cardiologist check him out as well. Her concern is that there's something wrong with a valve that's coming from his heart. That's my interpretation. So we got an appointment with the cardiologist at Primary Children's Hospital on July 6th. They will do an echo.(sp), to see what's wrong. Worse case he will need surgery to replace the valve. Hopefully everything will be fine, and this is just another attempt to see if I can keep from going into early labor. Dr. Katie could see my panic, and said, calm down, don't go into labor. There are a lot of good signs that he's fine. His blood pressure is perfect, as well as his coloring. And he doesn't get tired easily. That helped a lot. I am very grateful that my stabilizer, Jared, was with me. He usually doesn't come to these kinds of appointments, but I'm so glad he was with me. He can always calm me down and help me see the reality of the situation. (Love you honey!). I did loose it in the car when I called my Mom, but I got the immediate feeling that, we have the priesthood in our home, so why was I worrying so much. We got to go to the temple that night, for my youngest sister Amanda's first time. That was very special. I'm glad I went, because the entire time I was sitting there all I could hear is, I've given you everything you have, now do you have the faith that I can take care of it. DO YOU HAVE THE FAITH. That seems to be the theme of my life lately. I guess I better just hand it over, and use all the faith I can muster (get it?). Anyway, we could use all the prayers we can get. Thank you for all your love and support.
