Just a quick note to let everyone know how the girls are doing. Within the first week we were home, we took Nikole to the doctor to have her heart checked out because of her VSD and see what we needed to do in regards to vaccinations. At that appointment, we received the wonderful news that Nikole's heart sounds perfect. The
doctor said she has a normal heart rhythm with no sounds of a murmur or leakage. So she will not need any further treatment for her heart. The only thing he would like to do is when she is 5 or 6 years old, he would like to do an echocardiagram on her heart, but that is not necessary at this time, since she is too young to lay still for them. She is going to need some vaccinations to get her up to date, but she is currently on antibiotics to treat ear
infections in both ears, so the vaccinations will have to wait till she has recovered from this first.
The girls are getting along great! They do of course, have their normal fights and arguments over toys, mom and dad's attention, etc. But we know they love each other, as they love giving each other hugs and kisses. Emilie loves trying to help her little sister and Nikole loves following her big sister around the house every where she goes. They also love joining together and terrorizing mom and dad. :) It has been a lot of fun watching them play together.
As you can probably imagine, things have been rather crazy around here since we have been back. We have had very limited time for Christmas shopping, Christmas cards, Christmas cookies and candies, etc. but we are trying to do our best.
I hope this finds you all well and enjoying the Christmas season. For those of you who may receive our Christmas cards late this year, we wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!
God Bless,
Steve, Lisa, Emilie and Nikole
