Echo Looks OK

We talked to the cardiologist working today here in the PICU and based on her Echo this afternoon, he said there is a little bit of tricuspid valve leakage (which he said is pretty normal) but no stenosis or blockage. So from what we can tell, that is good news and we won't have to worry about any repair of that valve or a heart transplant. Whew!!

Oh Michelle!

I am so sorry things went south today. These little darlings are great at big suprises. I had to laugh when you wrote that you wonder how many still read your blog. We check in on you all the time and pray for you always. I truly hope they can delay safely dealy Gracie's Glenn so it will be as easy on her (and you) as it can be. Please know we're sending all our best your way.

xoxo,
Mindi and McKay

Glad to hear the cath went as well as it could have considering.... and even better news about the echo! Like I said earlier, Dr. Cowley is the best, I wouldn't want anybody else doing my sons caths! Goodluck and hopefully the Glenn will be a bit smoother now that these things have all been found and addressed!

Evie's Story said...

We were reading the blogs all day yesterday and keeping your precious family and sweet Gracie in prayer...and will continue to!

We have been "stalkers" for several months after finding you through Angel Annabelle. Annabelle and our Evie were "roomates" in the hospital. Our Evie is a transposition baby so these other heart babies have become very dear to us!

Blessings and prayers!
