Tyler Update


This age is so fun. Tylers personality really comes through. Tyler is a sensitive little man, loves his mommy and daddy and at times a little rascal that is busy busy busy. He loves doing anything his brother does.


Danny gave me a call last night as I was signing the lease to our condo (that's right, we rented our condo to a great family...YIPEE!!) He said he was bringing Tyler to the ER because he was having a hard time breathing from being in pain over something. He was kind of grunting to breathe which is sometimes a sign of heart failure. I got there a little earlier and said we were coming and they were so great. They brought us right in and had the ER doctor and pediatric in-house doctor waiting. His cardiologist came in to do an echo. The EKG, Echo and chest x-ray showed that his heart looks the same as his baseline which is GREAT news. We know his heart is doing well and wont need another echo for a while. We will get a lung scan done in July to see if he needs another cath for his pulmonary artery and continue to work on getting him chuncky for an eventual Fontan. Doctors talked about admitting his last night and after a couple hours he was a different, happier, more relaxed baby so we didn't have to make a visit to San Fran. Today he was busy blowing kisses, playing trains and riding his cars around the backyard. Makes me treasure our little man and makes you realize that heart babies can take a turn for the worse pretty quickly. What a difference a little TLC and a day can make.

It is wild that we get comfy and all the sudden we are reminded that these kids are a little different. I am glad things worked out and that little man is feeling better... Give him knuckles from his heart buddy!!!!

I'm so glad to hear that it wasn't worse. I hope it was just a temporary scare. That is great about renting out your apartment too! Congrats. I hope this means you'll be able to go house hunting now.

So glad Tyler is feeling better today! Did you find a house yet? Congrats on renting your condo!

BTW.. it sounds like we'll be coming out to Stanford soon and it will probably be our transplant center. We'll have to meet up and let the boys play.
