A Great Checkup!

We had a very good appointment with YouYou's cardiologist yesterday. In fact it was the first time I have left his office feeling better about things than when we went in (and that has nothing to do with Dr. Romp's personality or anything, it's everything to do with the seriousness of her condition)! Not only had YouYou gained a pound and a half, the Dr. said that her right ventricle was pumping SO MUCH better than he had ever seen it pump, her left ventricle looked good also, her valves seemed to be leaking less (which means the medicine she is on is working), her liver and heart were no longer enlarged, AND HE ONLY SAW TWO VSD'S (holes in her heart)!!!! I'm praising God for this good report!!! We are still scheduled to have a heart cath on June 11 but Dr. Romp said he expects that the cath will confirm what he thinks he is seeing in the echo...which is basically that her heart is functioning well right now. I think if she did not already have some damage to her lungs from the pulmonary hypertension he would not even worry about us having the heart cath. But he is trying to protect her lungs from further damage and the only way to be certain that she does not need any further surgeries right now is to get the kind of information that the cath will provide.

Thank you Father for your work of healing in YouYou's heart.
