Amelia did very well again. The doctors could not have been happier. We do not know results yet, should have them Friday. Thank you for your prayers.

Heart Birthday
It has been almost a year since Amelia received her heart (Friday March 15th is the actual day). She has been doing exceptionally well since last year at this time when she was in sever heart failure. She has grown by leaps and bounds, she runs around the house, almost faster than Kim and I can catch her, she has lots of teeth and seems to be about to walk through the door of talking (she has started to repeat things Kim and I say...kind of...at least mimic what words we say).
With the excitement of her "Heart Birthday" comes a scary time each year as well as she will need to have a cath and biopsy performed to check for cellular rejection of her heart. Her first annual biopsy is scheduled for tomorrow, Wed March 13th. Kim and I are really not looking forward to this hospital visit because for the last 6 months or so, Amelia has been very upset when going to any doctor appointments, even when they are not her's (example: Kim at the OB). This is normal, even for healthy kids when going to the docs between about 18 and 36 months of age. As an example of how we know she is aware of what the doctor is and what it means for her (especially her), when she bumps her head or stubs her toe at home, she points to the inside of her arm where she gets her blood drown and has a sour face. We ask her if she has an owie and she will point to where it hurts. It is both comical for Kim and I, and sad that she attributes that part of her body to being hurt.
Please pray for Amelia and the doctors as they check Amelia's heart tomorrow. Please pray for mom and dad too as they have to give their little lady to the hands of the docs and nurses to complete this procedure.
Bless God
Amelia, Kim and Brian
