Field's heart looks great (I believe Dr. P said his heart looked "beautiful" multiple times), pressures were better than ever, blood pressure normal, and O2 sats were good.
We go back to see Dr. P, our local cardiologist, in February 2013. Then we'll head to Texas Children's Hospital in March 2013 for a one year check-up there along with a pre-fontan Cath. That is when we will discuss plans for the Fontan surgery, which we are thinking will be in the Fall of 2013. Many, many, many people ask me if Field will need to have that 3rd surgery, especially because he is doing so well and his heart check ups have been so great. The answer to that question is unfortunately, yes. He will most definitely need the last surgery (Fontan) at some point in his life. It could be at any time, if his little body tells us he needs more oxygen and if his heart seems to take a turn for the worse. But otherwise, we are in a waiting period. God continues to bless us with HIS good news and normalcy. We are grateful for HIS perfect timing, HIS perfect plan, and HIS love.
Amen and praise be to God!
