Medical Update: Echocardiogram shows improvement!!

Finally some really good news.  Auggie had an echocardiagram last week and it showed that the valve of concern has grown as he has grown.  This means that he probably won't need to have any heart procedures done.  Early on the doctor was monitoring him to see if he needed to have a balloon inserted to help expand the valve and therefore improve blood flow, luckily he took a conservative wait and see approach and it paid off!  Auggie still has mild pulmonary valvar stenosis as the flaps that open up between the two chambers are still a bit chunky and don't open up all he way, but this is something he can live perfectly well with.  As the doctor said, Auggie should be able to participate in all sports but he might not become an olympic athlete - that's fine with me :)
