Awesome News!

Dizzy's doctors just came to give us the low down on the cath. Basically, Andrew rocks! They were not able to stent up that lower left pulmonary vein, but Andrew has developed one decent collateral on the lower left & some small ones in the upper so he estimates approx 30% of left lung is doing oxygenation work. When blood was forced into upper lung there were little veins to drain. This is great to keep Andrew from developing pneumonias. They did stent up his Glenn which needed to be enlarged simply because he's grown so much. What else, his ventricular function very good, in fact they are taking Andrew off Digoxin (whoo-hoo). When we go back to see Dr. N in the clinic in 3 months he will probably stop the Enalapril as well (ah yea). He worked a little on Dizzy's left (fat) leg, but there is some definite blockage there. He was able to get through some smaller vessels, but not balloon the larger. He feels the issue is mainly cosmetic though & doesn't bother Andrew too much. He mentioned using some compression stocking type of things to help. Jessica, I say that means he has to wear the froggie leggings you bought him, but Steve insists on a more masculine alternative. The doctor also mentioned that the oxygenated blood is flowing to his body normally.

We cannot thank you all enough for all the prayers, not just today, but for the past 18+ months. This boy truly does have a miracle heart & we praise God for him.
