Today was Joshua's one year appointment with the Cardiologist at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and the good news is, his VSD is completely closed! Yeah! He does still have a small "innocent" murmur from the pulmonary stenosis procedure. The doctor said the valves that didn't open all the way now do not close all the way, however, it is a very minimal issue and only needs to be checked every 2-3 years. So we won't need to go back for two years now! Yippee!
Funny thing happened. Joshua and Jacob were rough housing the day before and Joshua got a bloody nose. Real bad, but he was okay after ten minutes or so. Well, just as the cardiologist walks in and asks, "So how is he doing?" and I say, "He's doing great!" only to turn to Josh and see blood pouring out of his nose! I scream, "He's bleeding" and the doctor gets a nurse to bring a towel and we get him to lay down to stop it. It stops, and the doctor checks to make sure it's all okay, but I felt like a dummy saying he's great when he's sitting right next to me pouring blood from his nose. I guess Joshua got a kick out of us all rushing around trying to stop it, because afterward he says, "I bleeding. That punny, Mommy. " :)
Oh, and my little guy weighed in at 32.6 pounds and was 38 inches tall! He's still small, but he's gained quite a bit in the last year. :)

Sorry about his poor nose, funny that you were saying he was fine while he was bleeding though.
