Halloween and Heart Clinic Update!

Here are a couple of pictures of our cute little penguin. Luke had a very busy Halloween. We made the rounds to visit Grandma and Grandpa Pedersen, Great Grandma Shirley, Grandma and Grandpa Thomas and the annual Okey Halloween party. Luke was a trooper and a big hit with his costume at all of our stops.
We also thought we should share some good news from our most recent Heart Clinic appointment with Dr. Baker over MEA. They did an echocardiogram as usual and found that Luke's mitral valve leakage has improved a little bit. It is still quite mild. The narrowing of that valve has stayed the same. Dr. Baker was happy with this news and decided to take Luke off of the blood pressure medicine he has been on since his surgery last December! Giving him that medicine 3 times a day has become such a party of our routine. It felt strange the first couple of days...but we are not complaining! Thanks for checking in with us and our little boy.
