Cardiologist Appointment ~ 2020

Picture taken Mar. 3 ~
Elli's cardiology appointment went great! Her cardiologist said she had a "beautiful repair" (for TOF when she was 8 months old in China); "would believe if told she never had surgery; almost couldn't hear a murmur; normal pattern; pretty."
We wish we could thank her amazing surgeon. Our hearts are so thankful. <3
