Anneke Hope

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." ~ Rom. 12:12

Enjoying the beautiful fall!

Born: February 20, 2004

Weight: 8 lbs. 11 oz. Length: 21 3/4

Anneke was born with several major heart defects. A combination of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, Double Outlet Right Ventricle, a Common AV Valve, and a Coarctation of the Aorta. We orginally thought she would only have to have a series of three surgeries within the first few years of life, but after the first surgery at three days of age we received the news that it helped but there was severe leaking of the AV valve and a heart transplant was necessary. She received her new heart on June 27, 2004. We are praying that God will continue to do amazing things in her life.

We have had a sick fall. Pretty much as soon as school started someone in the house has had a cold or flu. It makes me wonder what the winter will be like! Anneke has managed to pull through each illness like a champ. Most times she won’t admit to even being sick.

We had a doctor’s appointment with Dr. J last week. Everything looked great except for her alk phos level was high, something she’s never had. He said not to be concerned and not to worry if her pediatrician called all freaked out. He thinks it's a fluke so we’ll go in and get it checked in a few weeks. It could mean a gazillion different things so hopefully it will come back normal!

We got some fall pictures of the family. Here is the link for the album (I think you will have to cut and paste, sorry!):
