Happy Halloween!

MJ had a great Halloween this year, not even three weeks removed from open heart surgery. We met with her cardiologist Friday afternoon- while we had hoped to do an echo of her heart, her doctor didn't feel it necessary yet, because she looked and sounded so good. That in itself was good news. We'll do another echo in 6 months, to look at pressures, and get an idea of how blood is moving through her heart and lungs.


Halloween itself was a blast - we trick or treated with the neighbors on a gorgeous MN evening. In the picture are good friends Libby and Molly. After a while, we gave up on trying to keep her from running. Even when the younger kids started wearing out, she was going strong. At bedtime when I tried to praise her for being so strong, she replied that she was just excited to get more candy. What an amazing little girl.
