Friday, Brendan had his routine checkup with the cardiologist which includes an echo and EKG. He hates the whole process. Since we were at the main hospital campus, we got “upgraded” to their best tech that did a great job getting Brendan through the long echo while getting the data he needed. He was the same guy that did the diagnostic echo that found Brendan’s heart defect just over four years ago.
Getting great pictures of the inside is so important and it helped Brendan’s doctor give him an A++ report. All defects considered, Brendan’s heart is really strong, no leaky valves, no narrowing of vessels, and has a good rhythm. All awesome news.
Saturday was the final finishing day of the skylight project. As soon as the installer left, Bill and I took over to finish the rest of the room. You can’t paint part of a ceiling so we did the whole thing.
We also fixed some very old holes and damage from the old fish tank!
We took down all the shelves and lights and medical stuff and patched and painted the top half of the wall as well.
The finished skylights!
The problem with a freshly updated room is that the rest of the house then wants to be done too. 😀 😀
Today we took the boys to the science center and we saw their first show in the planetarium. They were not entirely impressed and both of them would have happily left mid-show. But it was OK and they made it through. 😀
It’s wonderful news about Brendan’s heart!! I hope all of the other doctors have good news for you soon. Gramma loves you, Brendan! I love you, too, Trevor!
Your skylights look awesome! What a difference in your living room! There’s never an end to what you can do to a house! You’re right that once you start painting, there’s nowhere to stop until it’s all done! You and Bill do a great job and get it done so fast! I can’t wait to see the improvements!
Lots of love and hugs,
Gramma xoxoxxo
Great news on Brendan good to hear. Your project came out beautiful.
The skylights look great! And believe me, I understand how fixing up one part of the house really highlights all the other parts that need to be fixed up! 🙂
So happy to hear that Brendan’s heart is in such great shape!

So glad that Brendan got his stellar report for his heart! He is a strong little guy, and will continue to make great progress thanks to his own will and great parenting.
Nice skylights!
