His Ticker is A-Okay

Some of you may know that Stephen was diagnosed with a heart murmur last year. We went through a waltz of medical tests and the like, after which we were told to treat him like a normal kid, but to bring him back in a year for a follow-up exam.

That follow-up exam was today, and Stephen came through it with flying colors. After an EKG, the specialist listened to his heart, examined the latest round of x-rays, and took his blood pressure. Stephen was calm and well-behaved the whole time.

When all was said and done, the doctor said that the boy is fine. Nothing to worry about here. Move along.

This is a relief. It's a constant worry that we've been living with since we found out about it. Now that it's behind us, we can focus on other things.

In other news, Stephen had his first haircut on Monday. I'll try and get some new photos of the lad up this week.
