Cardiologist update

We brought Sean to the cardiologist today for his post-op check up. Dr. LaCorte was very excited by how well Sean did with his surgery & how quickly he was healing. He commented that he would have thought is Sean was released today it would've been early.

Sean's oxygen level is 100% and his heart rate was in the 150's. When Dr. LaCorte started Sean's echo, Sean flipped. He wasn't happy to have anything directly on his chest. It wasn't the laid back Sean he knew pre-operatively. There was no fluid in Sean's lungs or on his heart. YAY!! So we can wean Sean off the lasix. The patch looked great & there was no leakage.

He also explained to us that Dr. Bacha used a new technique on Sean's pulmonary valve. Instead of just putting a patch on the valve, he rebuilt parts of his valve to hopefully avoid the necessity of a valve replacement later in life.

I'm so thrilled that Sean continues to do well. He's such a strong little boy. I'm also happy to have this leg of his journey behind us.

Continued thanks to everyone who continues to offer their support to us.
