THE NITTY GRITTY
HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Cardiologist update.

DateWednesday, August 28, 2013 at 03:57PM

Just wanted to let folks know that Micah saw the cardiologist this morning and is A-OK. The cardiologist assured us that there are no structural issues with Micah's heart...only a different sound, like chords on a guitar being played when the blood pumps over them. He said he was 100% sure that Micah's is just an innocent/benign Still's Murmur (though I'm not sure I necessarily trust someone who would say 100%, lol). He declared no need for any follow up and thinks the sound will go away on its own around adolescence. Whew. :)

I had a murmur when I was a girl and it went away. Maybe it's just a little hereditary thing. Glad the doctor is not concerned!

I'm relieved, too. Congratulations on the nothingness. Nothing is sometimes so wonderful!
