Seraph did great on her Echo. She's been approved for her GI (instestinal) surgeries.She hated it--all the touching and the goopyness! She rolled, wiggled, swatted, screamed, and fought. The tech thought we might have to sedate her to finish the test. (Scared me!) Seraph's Cardiologist found her "spunkiness" encouraging. If her heart function was too low, she wouldn't have had the energy to fight them off that much. The echo (they did manage to see her heart) showed improved heart function :)
After the echo, they did an x-ray, EKG, and lab tests (drawing blood--eeeep)! She was NOT happy. ....except she still smiled whenever anyone talked to her.
I'm happy!
The surgeries will be done laproscopically. No more food tube in her nose! (She'll still have her oxygen tube.) No more stress over Angel yanking out her NJ tube. They'll be able to play together!! Significantly less reflux! Happier, more mobile (yikes, but yay) baby :)!!!

Congrats!
That's such great news!! I just read it to the girls, who fasted for her too. Happy, happy!
Hooray! So good to hear the good news! We've been praying so hard!
Has she had her heart looked at yet for the Fontan procedure yet?
Wonderful news. We are so happy for all of you. Laproscopic is good. Much easier for her to heal.
i love good news! i have the same question about the fontan procedure though- does she have the green light now?
thankyou :)
I asked about the fontan...he said "let's take it one step at a time."
They'll do a sedated echo while she's under for the GI surgeries. If that goes well they'll do a heart Cath to check her pressures. ...etc
The Fontan is further down the road...(it's normally done for kids when they're 2-5 years old. and it's actually better to have it done when they're older.) But he did seem more open to that path than he was before.
You had a great day. Good possibilities now. Much love, Gma
Oh thank God!!!! Will share with Mindy
