Rockstar Pediatrician

Dr. Aimee is exactly what we needed.  An advocate, who is kind, thoughtful, very smart and on top of things and who is willing to help even though Charlotte won't technically be her patient for months.    After I left her a message she called me from home on Tuesday and took over.  She consulted with the maternal fetal medicine Dr. and got all the information.  Turns out there is some debate on whether Charlotte truly has a heart defect and that is why they want us to see a cardiologist first.  If it turns out her heart is fine, they want to try and get us into a program that would do the in utero surgery.  Just the thought of this surgery sends me over the edge and into heart palpitations so I am not letting my mind go there yet.

Dr. Aimee called the cardiologist at Cook's but they didn't have appointments until October.  Evidently she didn't let that stop her and after two days of begging and pleading they found an appointment for us tomorrow!

To sum it up it looks like we are going to deliver at Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth.  We have an appointment with a pediatric cardiologist there and I am still working on getting set up with a new OB.

This week has been amazing and completely overwhelming.  Charlotte's big brother started kindergarten which is a Spanish immersion program so every other day he has no idea what his teacher is saying!  Her sister met her new preschool teacher and will start there next week. And to top it off the downstairs AC broke.  Lucky for me both the kids seem to love school and are adjusting well.  Plus, Jared is incredibly handy and with the help of google replaced the blower saving us more than I care to think about.

There have been multiple times I feel like I am making a mistake or choosing the wrong path and I start to panic. But I am going to try and remember this piece of advice from my amazing sister-in-law, Holly.  She said, "You just jump in with both feet and pray for strength to overcome what comes your way!"

I once heard my friend Rebecca pray, "God I am asking for the big one, the miracle that only you can deliver." So my prayer today is God let Charlotte's heart be healthy.  If his will supersedes mine then so be it, but I won't be afraid to ask :)
