Sorry I've been MIA!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies I'm so sorry for the lack of an update - thanks Fitchick for a kick in the pants!

Well at this point they will moniter my AA.  I'll have repeat ct scan in March to see what it's up to.  If it's stable they'll continue do ultrasounds of my heart to watch it.  I don't know at this point how often that will be.  I did find out that my aortic valve has only 2 flaps instead of the normal 3, so that could be part of the cause.  It also means that they'll do replacement surgery when it's closer to 5 cm instead of 5.5 or 6.  The surgeon said I've had it for a long time and will have it for a long time.  I could need surgery in 6 months or six years.  I asked if my MUGA scan would've shown it and he said nope.  Some of my fears are less because I realized I've gone through 3 pg with this and was running a lot, so I'm not worried as much now.  The only restriction I have is lifting heavy things that would use my chest muscles a lot.  So no bench pressing  oh darn!

I've been VERY busy with the 3 kids.  Matthew took wrestling so that was very busy, but great for him.  An hour he can be pure boy and not get yelled at for it!  What more could a 6 year old boy want!!!

I have made a decision to enter therapy.  I've been struggling for a while to cope with BC issues and general life stuff.  I need someone to talk to that isn't part of it all.  I tried before but the guy I met with didn't click with me.  The lady I'm meeting with now seems to be clicking better.

Otherwise life is life!  It's snowing right now, so that's new   I'll do better at getting on and hanging out my my sisters.  

To see a TON of Samuel pics check out this link.  He's getting so big - and CRAWLING!!!!!!! and he's only 5.5 months!  But still a sweetheart.
