We had a nice visit with Weston's Cardiologist yesterday to discuss his results from his cath procedure last month. Weston's heart is doing fantastic. We were previously concerned about the size of Weston's bottom two chambers however after looking at the cath Riley says he has beautiful larger chambers and the pressures in the chambers are great! (As good as a normal heart) There are two options for surgery. 1. The Fontan. 2. The Physiological or Traditional Repair. We have been given the pros and cons of both and we are left to decide what is best for Weston. We will meet with his surgeon to further discuss these two options some time this summer followed by surgery some time in the fall. There is no rush due to the fact Weston is doing so good! We are truly blessed to have such a strong boy! Thank you all for your love and support. Xoxo
