Mason had his most recent cardiology visit on 10-26-10 in Albuquerque. Here he is getting an echocardiogram of his heart. From what we were told his function looks good and the leakage in his valve isn't any worse. He was such a good boy and did everything he was asked. All the fears from being poked & prodded not that long ago have seemed to disappear. The bad news is that we will have to prepare ourselves to make a decision on where we want to take Mason for his Fontan surgery next year. It is so hard to imagine that we have such a perfect looking little boy that will HAVE to have another open heart. If I could only give up something of my own so that he wouldn't have to go through it I would. Every little moment with are with him has to be cherished.
Mason's cardiologist says she believes that we just have to pick someone we trust and then just go with their recommendations. As Ernie pointed out, there aren't a hundred Dr. Hanley's that will be there to take care of him and we have to weigh all our options. We know the best thing would be to have the same surgeon operate, right? I guess we know, actually, we don't, that's just what they tell us. What we do know is that we have faith that God will guide us to make the right choices. One I can't say we are ready to make right now.
