The Waiting Continues...

After an agonizing 3 days and two phone calls into the cardiologist, I finally heard back from Dr. Sapire today. Our conversation was short and too the point and I did not have the opportunity to ask many questions so there are some that are unanswered. Dr. Sapire said that there is a definite obstruction in Hudson's right ventricle. (I'm not sure if it's grown since his last echo, stayed the same, or shrunk.) An answered prayer however is that they were able to get a REALLY good echo reading because he ended up having to be sedated. He was not going to even begin to let the ultrasound tech even touch him with the wand! Dr. Sapire said that he will yet again be presenting his case to the board. (The first time he presented was when it was decided that Hudson would have his open heart surgery. The second time he presented was in April when they decided they would bring him back for the echo at TCH - done Tuesday.) So here we are again, patiently (as patiently as we possibly can) waiting to hear what the board decides. He will present either in 2 or 3 weeks and we will hear the results hopefully that same day.

But for now we will wait...we will wait with hope and faith that God is hearing our prayers to heal Hudson's heart without any more surgeries. We are anxiously awaiting the day when in the back of our minds there is no fear of what the next step could be, when we will know that Hudson has a strong, healthy heart and can do all the things that Bryan and I dream for him to do.

We appreciate all of the encouragement more than you know! Please continue to lift us up in your prayers!

Thanks for commenting!! Bentley's cardi is Dr. Slesnick... he is inside the TCH... her surgeon is Dr. Frazier.

I will definitely be praying!!! Going through these types of things really put your faith and strength to test sometimes. It is such an emotional roller coaster, to say the least. But God protects our children when we cannot. Our family is sending lots of heart hugs and prayers!! Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
