Benign Murmur

We got good news from the cardiologist this morning! Luke's heart murmur is definitely just a benign murmur that will likely go away as he gets older. We had been to see Dr. Reddy at Texas Children's at St. Luke's when Luke was one and he thought that the murmur sounded like an innocent one. He wanted to see us back when Luke turned three so that he could make sure that the murmur was fading. We went this morning and had an EKG and then Dr. Reddy listened to Luke's heart. I had a few panicky moments when Dr. Reddy told me he wanted to get an Echo done because the murmur wasn't fading. The fear was short lived though and Luke was a champ during the whole thing. It turns out that it is just an innocent murmur and that either the hole is not ever going to close (which is fine) or that it just sounds loud because Luke is such a skinny kid.

We are so thankful to have two healthy kids!
