Her heart



I forgot to add the picture that we got of her heart. The tech said that she didn't think she was supposed to get us a picture of it, but did it anyways. I am grateful for people who do things like this. 
In the picture, I pointed out the small ventricle. Around the ventricle, you can see a thick white layer around it. The pediatric cardiologist and surgeon are unsure exactly what that is and if it's going to cause any problems. I see her heart all the time, in the weekly ultrasounds that I have, but it's nice to be able to really look at it.
This is the her heart. 
Although half of it is too small, it's still beautiful. This little heart is still working like crazy. We have NTS's (non-stress tests) twice a week. They put a monitor on my belly that tracks her heart rate. In a 20 minute time period, her heart rate needs to go up a certain amount at least 2 times. From the second they hook her up, her heart rate is constantly going up and down. Which is wonderful. The nurses and doctors are always impressed and say that they wouldn't know that there was something wrong with her heart by listening to her. Our sweet girl is already living up to her name. Striving and excelling. 

Please keep praying for a miracle. God is so good!


Love,
Kelly
