Follow up visit

Yesterday Maria went in for a check up. They are very pleased with her progress. They have removed 1 medication and we are scheduled to remove another on Monday. She goes back in next Wednesday for an EKG to make sure that her heart rate is still OK with the removal of the medications. SAT levels still a little low but that will hopefully improve with time. Looks like a CATH in about 6 months to close the fenestration.

They are concerned about the way her arm is healing. She had an IV leak in her arm during surgery and it damaged some tissue. They had been taking a wait and see attitude but now we have to go see a plastic surgeon. Please pray that before that appointment week after next that we see major healing in this arm. We really pray that she will not need further surgery on this area right now.

Today Robin has reported that Maria is in a great mood and running and playing around the house. We are seeing a lot more smiles and daily improvement. Communications is still an issue but we will get there.

Thanks for your continued prayers.
