Tyler's Heart Update

Had a cardiology appointment today and it went well. Yeah! We had a lung scan a month ago which looked good. They monitor his PA stenosis where the shunt from the Norwood was removed. As his heart grows the area where the shunt was has some scar tissue so they want to make sure there is adequate blood flow until the Fontan. This means no heart cath to dialate it for now. His heart looked good but he is still quite a little man. Blame it on his parents genes and a crazy heart. We will continue to monitor his heart every 6 months unless we notice change in his behavior/heart failure signs. Right after his EKG and before his Echo he threw up everywhere. It was so sad and smelled horrible. The poor little man has the flu or something. He threw up one more time when we were home and is now resting. This is the first time either of my kids has been sick to their stomach. I guess we'll look at that as a blessing. Throwing up is much easier to handle than heart failure. Alright, happy Monday everyone! Thanks for constant prayers! They are working.
