First of many

Today I experienced first of many scared to tears moments. Anna-Kate and I were in Austin for one of many follow-up appointments at the Pediatric Cardiology of Austin "hospital". Before they start the whole ordeal they check her height and weight totally in the nude. So, I went to grab for a diaper while she was on the table and the lady doing the stuff turned around to grap a bag for the diaper and as we were doing so she rolled off of the table (about 3 1/2 feet or so) onto the basically cement floor. All I know is she was screaming and my first instinct was to pick her up and comfort her...all the while freaking out myself because my 7 month old baby just rolled off of a pretty high table (for her anyways). I could not contain myself. I was crying just as hard as she was. They probably thought I was nuts but I was really scared! The lady ran out and a couple of nurses came in and then the doctor. They made me lay her flat and hold her head still which made her scream even more because she only wanted her mommy. They doctor looked over her and said he thinks she's fine. Which was hard for me to digest because she just fell onto a cement floor. GOD IS GOOD! She has a little bump on the side of her head with a nice bruise that didn't show up until we got home this afternoon. I'm going to call her main doc tomorrow to see if he wants to check her out himself. My thought is, what does a doctor who read cardiograms know about head injuries??? Probably more than I give him credit for but it freaked me out none the less.
With all that, her follow-up for what we actually were there for came out great. Her pulmonary stenosis (http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=1321) has actually gotten a little bit better which is great news. There are three possibilities with this diagnosis. It could get better, stay the same or get worse. Hers has been mild to begin with so it's super good news to know that it's getting even more mild. He said it's a possibility that she may grow completely out of it...which would be super awesome. So praaaay for my baby.
