Emily's Cardiology Appointment

We took Emily to her heart appointment this morning up in Akron. They did an EKG and found that she does have a heart murmur but it is normal and nothing to be worried about. Dr. Jacobstein said that a heart beat without a murmur sounds like a "lup-lup". Emily's murmur makes her heartbeat sound musical or like it vibrates and it sounds more like "lup-swoosh-lup". They checked her blood flow and organs and everything appears to be working perfectly. Dr. Jacobstein said that over 50% of children develop a noraml heart murmur like Emily's. So, that was good news for us this morning! :)

As many of you know, we are auctioning the rental property tomorrow evening. We are very anxious to be done with it and are trusting that God will bring the right buyers and provide financially for us. But your prayers are always appreciated! We'll let you know what happens! And in regards to our house selling, we have several parties interested and are just waiting to hear back from them. Hopefully any day now. :)

The pictures of Emily were taken yesterday morning before we left for church. She still hasn't gotten used to wearing shoes and is quite fascinated by them -- as you can tell. She is also starting to make different vowel noises/sounds and I swear she said "firefly" the other day! Nelson said it was just "ay-ay" but I think it was "firefly"! ;)
