Diagnosis: PFO

Olivia's appointment with the Cardiologist went very well this morning. She had an EKG test, and the results from that in combination with her previous echocardiogram have lead the doctors to believe she has a PFO and not an ASD (atrial septal defect). This is great news! Unlike an ASD, a PFO is NOT a permanent defect and generally causes no harm during the course of life and should close on its own by the time she is one year of age. We are due back to the Cardiologist for a follow up in 6 months to see if the murmur is gone by that point. Thanks to Mama Diane and Papa Bede for babysitting for us today!

Here's a cute video of the girls I took the other day of them just making baby noises.
