Back from the cardiologist

We just got back from the cardiologist. The doctor said that it sounds like Audrey just has a "regular murmur" now instead of the murmur he was hearing because of the hole in her heart. He thinks it has closed on its own. She goes back in 6 months to get checked again and make sure that's the case. If so, we will not need to go back until she is 2-3 years old. He did not want to do an echocardiogram today because she's older now and much more wiggly.... he wouldn't get anything done. (She has to be completely still for about 45 minutes) He would have to sedate her and feels she is too young for that, so when she is 2-3 we will go back and he will sedate her and do a final check with the echocardiogram to make sure that everything is okay. So, good news! The last time we went (3 months ago) it had not closed yet.
