Sorry I took such a long time to write back.Things have been crazy again as usual. We ended up seeing the card and he said that he looked a little swollen.He was concerned about fluid being around his heart.He had an echo done and all was wonderful.We were so happy.The best news we had ever received was that his surgery was a success and his pressures are lower than they have ever been.His mean gradient is down to 16 and his peak is down to 39.
The card did feel that his other symptoms need to be looked at. We made an appt with the ped that afternoon and Broc was tested for the flu and strep.And guess what came back positive.You guessed it , the strep.Broc is on another antibiotic and has another cough for which he is on breathing treatments 3x a day for again.
Broc will be having his tonsils and adenoids and possible ear tubes done on the 4 Feb.We are really looking forward to that day as we are hoping that it will help in decreasing the amount of infections that he keeps getting.
For now Brocs heart is doing really well and we are hoping that his surgery will last him about 5 years maybe more before he will have to have another heart surgery.
