Scan is this Friday

Please pray for Evan this Friday as he will be having the Ventilation Profusion Scan early Friday morning to measure the pressures between the left and right sides of his heart. This is outpatient and although they put him to sleep for this, as soon as he wakes up after the scan we will be able to go home. This is the same scan they did before his cath. in April when the pressures were 85% to the right and 15% to the left. The doctors are testing this again to be sure that the stent is working and making the pressures more 50-50. I will post Fri. evening and let everyone know how it went however; I'm sure I will not know the results until the cardio visit next Wed.
I often blog about the trials and tribulations of being a mom but today I wanted to post just a few of the reasons why this little boy has me wrapped around his finger. I wish I could tape him and play it for you so you could hear his sweet little voice when he says, "Mommy, I love you soooo much", or "Pwweease". The way that asks for you to lay down with him so he can run his fingers through your hair while falling asleep. The way that he whispers in his monitor, "Mommy, Daddy, I'm awake." That he asks his daddy 100 times is it dark yet so that they can go outside and see the moon and wish on the stars and that every night he wishes for a sucker. The way he runs to the front door when I leave my mom's for work and waves and blows kisses. To hear him sing Row, Row, Row your boat, "Nerrily, Nerrily, Nerrily, Nerrily." The way your heart breaks when you enter the parking garage at Kosair Childrens Hospital and Evan begins to cry because he knows that the only time we go in a parking garage is there and he knows he is getting ready to get hurt. The way he use to tell the nurses "Last one please" and "Thank You" when getting his RSV shots. The way he believes his bear is real and talks to him, "Bear, you want to play trains, you do, okay!" That we have listened to "He's My Son" so much that Evan knows the words and sweetly sings along and that if he notices tears in my eyes he will ask, "Mommy are you happy" and kisses you until your smiling. The way he reminds me to say prayers at bedtime and remembers those he loves and thanks God for them. He is such a blessing and Mommy and Daddy are totally wrapped around his chubby little fingers!
