Surgical Follow Up

We had Drew's post op appointment with Dr. Cutler this morning. First we did the echo and EKG, then weight and height (he's dropped 6 oz, which makes sense) and finally, we met with Dr. Cutler. She's very pleased with his progress, saying his heart looks "fabulous." His right ventricle is still pumping like it had been previously, as it got used to having to pump so hard, so it's nearly hitting itself together on the inside. But, that's to be expected and should calm down in a few weeks or so. We are cutting out the Aldactone and cutting back on the Lasix. Tylenol is now strictly for the 4 teeth he is cutting, not his incision site pain any longer. We will see her again in 6 wks and hopefully will receive the all clear to go 6 mos-1 year without any follow up appointments!

Thank you again for all your prayers and support! They have definitely made a difference...the power of prayer is awesome.
