All grown up.
Tuesday Falco had his recheck with the cardiologist to make sure his murmur had gone away. The initial murmur due to narrowing of the pulmonary arteries had gone away, but the doctor heard a new innocent murmur. He said this type of murmur is very common and generally can’t be heard after ten years of age and that it didn’t need any type of followup. Anyway, while we were there I felt Falco’s gums, as I do every few days, to check for any signs of teething. To my surprise, I felt something sharp on his bottom gum! He cut his first tooth! It has just barely made its way through the gum, so it feels like a sharp edge and looks like a silvery line. I was so proud, excited, and sad that he is getting so big. I was also very happy because he hadn’t been fussy at all for the days leading up to the tooth, so I’m hopeful that he won’t have a hard time with teething in general.
