Quick Mid-September Update!

Hello Everyone!

I thought since I had some time that I would give a quick update. I’ve been doing well, staying healthy! Yay! I’ve been busy with college lately; this semester is going to be my hardest I can tell. I’m trying not to stress out and just take things as they come. Yesterday, I had a doctor’s appointment with my new primary doctor. I had never met him so I was a little nervous, but prepared with medical records to let him know all about my Congenital Heart Disease. I even though I wasn’t sick I had to see him in order to get a referral to Children’s Hospital and to inform him about my heart so he is prepared when I am sick. The appointment went well and I got my referral. I will be going to Children’s Hospital next Wednesday for the 1:30 appointment that I made last week. Yay! I will be having a stress test, an EKG, and an Echo. I’m so prepared for it haha. Anyways, my new primary doctor is very nice; he was SO interested about my Heart Condition. I think I was one of the first patients he has had with a Congenital Heart Defect; that was my impression anyways. He asked a lot of questions, he took my blood pressure, he listened to my heart, he looked at my scars; I even gave him some medical records about my condition which he copied to keep in his file and he seemed excited to read them later. I even got the regular flu shot while I was there. Though every year after I get the flu shot I don’t feel good for about a day and usually get a small fever. It happened again this year, so I didn’t go to school today. Luckily, I only had one class and she goes by her lecture notes that she posts online, so that made me feel better. At the moment I’m doing well and just relaxing. I will be doing some homework and some other things here soon. So, that’s about it for now.

Till next time… May God Guide, Comfort, and Bless you on your journey. Sending many **Heart Hugs** your way!

With LOTS of Hope, Love, and Faith,


P.S.: I still haven't had the time to upload Lake Michigan pictures to my laptop, so hopefully I can soon.
