Noah's Nook: Terrific Thursday!

Thursday started out a little well, unnerving! Noah had blood work done at his 2 year check up, and it came back that his cholesterol was high. His pediatrician wanted to refer him to a Cardiologist, just so he could be monitored closely. At first, I was like ok, whatever so they wanna waste some more of my money by sending him there, then the closer the appointment got the more and more I was getting anxiety. First the reminder saying to expect to be there for 3 hours, yes 3 hours! Then it goes on to say about doing all these tests. I was a nervous wreck by the time the appt came. On top of it I'm thinking oh my God what if she is really sending him there because of what I told her about when his Father passed away. The enlarged heart and blockage, which freaked me out even more! Saddest thing is, they were asking for more of his Father's history but I couldn't really give them much because Jeff's Mother wasn't exactly a help what so ever. Honestly talking about bad health issues isn't something Jeff and I ever talked about! That's beside the point.
Anyway turned out after packing a bag of cars, books, enough snacks to tide him over and have a variety, and packing water in a cooler bag expecting to be there forever, we only were there a hour! I was so glad! They got his height and weight, which is still pretty much the same as his check up, 36 pounds, gained a few ounces. Then they did a EKG, which was absolutely PERFECT! I was so glad! They didn't have to do any other tests, which made me extremely happy! The Dr said he has a very strong heartbeat, and everything seems just fine! The Dr said that sometimes genetics is why things happen, and there isn't anything to do about it. Which I believe is the case because the boy does not have a bad diet what so ever! Anyway it was such a relief to find out that everything was ok, and that we didn't have to go back until next year. Then he will get his blood work checked and probably see a lipid specialist cardio Dr!

Since we got out a lot earlier than expected, we stopped at the playground that's across the street from the Children's Heart Group at Nyes Rd. It's called The Possibility Place. It's really a awesome place! It's for ALL children, children with disabilities and all! The walk ways are wide enough for a stroller or wheelchair! It really is a awesome place! It's made of like fake plastic feeling wood for lack of a better term, and AstroTurf, it's awesome! They even have a little spot that has like painted palm trees that's sprinklers! I know that Noah will love that once summer is here!

he though he was hot stuff walking on the airplane!

loved being in the train, but didn't want to be with other kids so he ran out and went off to something else!

he's watching a little boy and his Grandma with light sabers! lol

We had a lot of fun there! Then we left and headed to my best friends brand new Pizza Shop! Tony's Pizzeria and Restaurant in Highspire is officially open for business as of last Monday March 19th. Today was the "official" pizza cutting ceremony with the Mayor! Yes, not ribbon Krista said the mayor was going to cut a 36" pizza instead! Anyway lunch was absolutely delicious! I wish Krista and Tony the best of luck! I know you can do it!
