Good Cardiology Report

Ah, three hours later we got a "good" status. EKG good, heart rate good, blood pressure good, oxygen sats good, echo good, murmur still there, liver position good.

Bottom line is good. The bicuspid valve has not gotten worse, so that is good. They are even letting us come back in 8 months, instead of 6 months. Awesome! Dr. Siu thinks that the small VSD has closed and the murmur is actually created by the bicuspid valve, aka muscle flap. He will compare todays ECHO to last times. This is what they are watching. This is their main concern, aside from the pacemaker of course. The liver is positioned fine. It was probably scar tissue that his pediatrician felt. It's a good thing I don't overreact when doctors tell me something! Thanks for the prayers. They were heard!

Heart Day

Today is Harrison's heart repair anniversary. At 3:40 today it will mark 3 years since we handed our new born over to Dr. Moga, so he could repair his complex heart defects. Recently, we learned that his liver feels low, so tomorrow his cardiologist will check this theory out. We pray that his liver is in the correct place, because if it isn't than that usually indicates a flow problem. This is not what we need right now. Prayers for a great report from cardiology is what we need.

Happy Birthday Harrison!

Yesterday was Harrison's third birthday. It was a fun filled day with carnivals, lunch and toy shopping. He didn't want to play any games at the carnivals. He only wanted to look at the storage shed that looks like a barn. And at the other carnival he wanted to slide and look at the bouncy house that had barns and houses on it.

Lunch was fun. We took him to Chili's and he had a birthday milkshake, which he loved. Today we are having my family over to celebrate his birthday. I am creating a frog cake. He loves frogs! Harrison will have a co-birthday party with his cousin, Owen the first week of December.

Health wise, Harrison is doing good. With a little cold and congestion, he did end up getting put on an antibiotic. Hopefully the eye gook will go away soon. He got a flu shot yesterday...happy birthday (sorry)! We have lots of appointments coming up with Cardiology, GI, Neurology, Infectious Disease, Well Visit, Dentist, and I think Genetics. He has an appointment with a Developmental Pediatrician in March (6 month waiting list) and we had his evaluation with the school system last Friday. Hopefully we will here something soon, because he is not receiving any therapy right now. He is making sounds and putting syllables together, but the words are just not forming. He is saying Ma and trying to get my attention. I love it! I will post pics after the party, soon.
