JT's heart murmer

Hello everyone!! Finally I can get on the blog. Since before we left for our trip to Idaho, our internet hasn't worked. I can't tell you how much I hate talking to Comcast. I think I called them like 5 or 6 times and they all made me do the same things over and over. FINALLY I got them to send out a tech and he was able to at least get it working on our laptop. However, our desktop seems to be sick, so we're gonna have to try and reboot the entire system.
The day we left for Idaho, we stopped in Grand Junction to have Jackson's appointment with a pediatrician cardiologist. Before we met with the doctor, a nurse had to hook him up to some stuff and do all the basic stuff like temperature, blood pressure, etc. Apparently, when Jackson is in my arms, he gets so scared. He wouldn't let the woman touch him no matter what kind of distraction she had. So Trapper gave it a shot. He feels so secure with Daddy! He played with toys and sat still while the nurse took his blood pressure. And as long as I stayed out of sight, it all went smoothly. I need Daddy for all the doctor appointments! I've noticed this kind of thing at night too though. If I go in when JT's crying, he freaks out and won't go back to sleep. If Trapper goes in, he can usually just rub his back and say "shh" and JT will fall back asleep. *sigh* I suggest we change the whole getting up at night schedule. Daddy during the week and mommy on weekends. haha Just kidding.
Well, to make this story short, Jackson's heart murmer is completely normal. Whew! I had a feeling he'd be fine. He's never acted strangely or been sick a lot, so I wasn't too worried. Thanks everyone for all your comments and for thinking of us!
