Updates!

Well it has been awhile and there have been a few updates. As I mentioned I had an appointment to meet with Dr. Elkayam. After a few phone conversations with him I can honestly say that I was nervous to meet him. I had such a wonderful experience with amazing doctors at Cedars that are very warm; Uri came across as rather cross and cold, but the appointment went well. He is a cardiologist and an OB that has focused on high risk pregnancies and their outcomes.
During our meeting he responded as most have in the past, he had a lot of questions and was very intrigued by my Angio cd. As a mater of fact as I was leaving I tried to get it back and he begged me to leave it with him until he could copy it and send it back to, which reminds me that I still haven't gotten that back-I need to get on that. After a nice conversation he said that he too had never seen anything like me (he has done 1 world wide and 1 nation wide study on women with heart attacks and pregnancy). He stated that he as a researcher always has a desire to learn more and watch women assume risk to see an outcome, but that my risks were undeterminable and unpredicatable. He told me that there are many wonderful options out there, but if I decided to go through with another pregnancy that he would follow me. During the conversation I told him that it was the comment of one of my doctors, she said that of course I could get pregnant, to which he responded that it was completely false. So after the appointment I cannot really say that I felt strongly one way or another...just that another doctor was erring on the side of caution.
It wasn't for a couple of weeks and a trip to the temple that the answer came, so I am excited to say that we are moving forward with the adoption process. We are excited to have another little one to join our family! We have still have a few more things to do until we are approved, but hopefully we will be approved by the end of the year!
Thank you for all the love and support and I can happily say that I feel as if most of symptoms are under control. I just have to be careful when my competitive self takes over. I am limiting the races I sign up for to discourage myself from overdoing it. Otherwise things are really good:)
