You never like to get bad news, at least I don't know anyone who does. But sometimes the best precautions can mean alot. Our new granddaughter went to her second checkup and words you never want to hear came out of the doctors' mouth. "I think she has a heart murmur?" Of course any news about your child is horrendous but being the mom I am I told my daughter, "It's probably nothing".
I was blessed with two healthly children. Yes both went through the typical childhood things, no broken bones, thank goodness and really the only severe accidents were our son knocked out a front tooth when he was two years old and our daughter hit her head on the fireplace after a "wrestling match" with her brother. I felt like I got off pretty good with minor things.
Especially considering that David's first son was not so lucky. He was only six years old when he passed away. To many abnormalities to list in a time when medical science still wasn't able to take care of things. So when I had children I was overly critical of telling the doctor of past things.
I am happy to say Hadleigh's "tiny hole" is a fairly normal occurrence and the doctor said by age two it should be gone. My daughter was relieved to here this news as we all were. After getting off the phone with her the one thing that stuck with me was that she said the doctor said he could tell with how happy and active she was that it couldn't be anything severe. He gave her a picture of her heart for her "baby scrapbook".
My thoughts are that the tiny hole is just letting lots of extra love inside her already loving heart.
