Cardiology Appt.

Hi everyone.  Christopher had a cardiology appointment on Friday so I thought I'd update (hey look it's only been 2 months since my last update!).  Apparently Dr. Chang is very pleased with the way Christopher's heart is pumping and squeezing.  He sees no need to rush a stent or his Fontan procedure.  He mentioned talking to Dr. Kyzer (he preformed the angioplasty) to make sure they are on the same page.  So we are back on track with surgery being sometime in 2014.  Not sure about the timing of the stent really.  We won't be back until November, when they'll take another gander at everything and check his pacemaker battery.  It feels strange that we haven't had a pacemaker check since November and now we won't have an ultrasound until November too.  

Chang also stopped one of his meds permanently.   He had us stop his blood pressure med to try to figure out why he's coughing so much, though I think it could be allergies or asthma.  So right now he's only on baby aspirin. It's really odd only giving him half an aspirin in the am.  We are used to 3 meds am and 2 pm.  When he was first home from the hospital it was 6 am 2 afternoon 4 pm.  He's so happy he doesn't have to take the yucky ones.  He'll have to get back on blood pressure meds in a week or so.  But right now it's a strange but nice change.  

That's all I know.  And here's a pic from the appt.  Love to all!
