A Little Anxiety With a Good Resolution

Timmy says: "Good morning!"

 We are glad Timmy is back to his normal self this morning. He had us a little concerned yesterday when his feet were quite swollen. Timmy is still quite tiny so the swelling in his feet may not look like much, but there was an good deal of excess in his feet, which never sounds like a good thing when dealing with heart issues.

The Cardiologist was called, and he let us know to keep an eye on it, keep an eye out for any other odd symptoms and to let him know anything out of the ordinary. Not quite the reassurance of "That is perfectly normal" that we had hoped for, but still much better than the "Get him up here immediately" that we hope to never hear. The cardiologist said that as long as the swelling goes down, and isn't an ongoing problem, he would prefer to have him at home as long as possible. If the need comes to call him up to Buffalo, they would probably not be able to release him home until surgery. It gives us a new reason to hope to never hear "Get him up here immediately," and we are thankful that the swelling has gone down and no other symptoms have popped up.

The opportunity for prayer is pretty clear, but to make it overly obvious, here is the current "Greatest Hits" list:

•       To stay well enough to stay at home until the surgery in November
•       To continue to eat well
•       For his heart to strengthen and grow (Especially the right ventricle) 
•       To gain weight to be able to tolerate surgery better
•       For strength and rest needed for Jen as she cares for Timmy

Thanks for checking in and we appreciate your prayers on our behalf!
