Cardiology...

Well first off it only took three hours that's a new record for Primary Children's.  He had an echocardiogram which is an ultrasound of his heart.  The last echo when he was five days old showed three holes in his heart, two in the lower chambers, and one in the top chambers.  He also had two leaky valves, a ductus that didn't close, and pulmonary hypertension.  Yesterday's echo shows the two bottom holes closed on their own they are completely gone, the upper one is smaller, the leaky valves don't leak anymore, the ductus is closed, and the pulmonary hypertension is GONE.  So the only thing they are watching now is the one ASD (hole in the top chambers).  They said if it doesn't close on it's own by the time he is three they will close it but it's getting smaller so they are very optimistic that it will take care of itself.  We don't have to go back to cardiology for a whole year.  That's it that's the new news.
