Valentines Day is all about hearts and cards and parties, as my kids know, they were all three so excited to take their cards and containers to school today to share in the celebrations.

We are also going to parties and celebrations this weekend, but yesterday we focused on Quinn's heart, and it seems fitting to share the news on Valentines Day, since it's all about hearts.

 Once a year, (yes only once a year, because Quinn has been doing so great) we check in with our heart doctor.  Quinn's heart is in her body backwards, basically and at about 5 months old she had her heart banded, and that has worked so well!
 Every year our doctor says, wow, I'm not sure how she continues to do so well, but once again, she is doing amazing!  We know that God has a plan for us, and he is good.  
This picture is a picture of the outside and inside of Quinn.  Can't beat that.
 As we are focused on the machines and what not, we also have to focus on the cute hair do that Selina gave Quinn this morning!  We are blessed in so many ways
 After a good film of Quinn's heart, she needed a fist bump!  Way to go!
 After good results we also have to have bubbles to celebrate!
 Then we have another test to test the rhythms of her heart, once again, God is good and we have great rhythm!
 In case you have not seen her button, this is how she does most of her eating and meds, we are thankful for that little button!
 Phew, it's exhausting getting so many tests done!

 Sometimes I want to worry about things, Quinn's heart, Isaiah's grades, Denali's messy room.
Then I try instead to put it into God's hands!
We still have to work hard, but God keeps me sane and for that I am so grateful!
 She was a great patient!  Granted she does not like to talk to the doctor, and once again did not do so, she did tell the nurse good bye and answered yes.  One of these times she will talk to Dr. Martin!  
Buttercup could not get up to Quinn fast enough when we got home to congratulate her on her good results!  Those two are getting closer and closer!
So a happy heart day to all of you!
We are so thankful for this little girls heart, and band on her heart!
Blessing!
