PRAISE!!
Madi's PDA is gone. Well, not technically but pretty darn close. It's gone from small to tiny, only 1mm in size and absolutely no flow through it. This little dash is about as big as her PDA - amazing that they can see something so small. So for all intents and purposes, the PDA is closed. The doctor couldn't get a catheter in to close it even if we wanted him to. We say Thank You for all prayers said on Madi's behalf, she is one blessed little girl.
We are now officially -ologist free. The only doctor Madi has is her pediatrician. Wheh! What...a...relief.
Madi wasn't having the best time during the echocardiogram but she did her best to help out. She was helping Lee hold the wand, got her fingers in the jelly and spread that around herself, turned to watch the monitor and was just kinda all over the place but not really. She wasn't crying or squirming to get free yet she didn't lay real still either. Madi was entertained for a while by the Old McDonald video that was playing but even that interest faded after a bit. When Dr. Parikh came in for his look-see he gave Madi the extra wand in attempt to divert her attention but that didn't last long. It's like they know what they've been given isn't the real thing so it's not as interesting. I'd venture to guess that the best part of the visit for Madi was playing with the rolly stool in the exam room. She pushed it from wall to wall, pounded on it, inspected the wheels and even got Dad to give her ride. Very intrigued with the stool.

Another doctor's visit means updated stats:
Height: 32"
Weight 22lb 5oz
100% oxygen level
blood pressure cuff didn't register
3" and 2.5lbs since her 1-year check up. Not too shabby!
