Final Details

We just spoke with Dr. Ing and he confirmed what we always knew, Blake is a rock star! He did great in the cath and they did not have to insert a balloon. His pressures were not suppressed enough to warrant the intervention and he feels like if the aortic arch keeps growing on pace with Blake's growth, he will be fine.

The work they did in his previous two surgeries still look good.

All of his pictures, numbers and measurements make him a good candidate for the Fontan, which is now tentatively scheduled for July 12 (Bryan's Birthday)! The Fontan will be the final of his three planned open heart surgeries and this surgery will allow blood to flow directly to his lungs instead of having to be route through the right side of his heart first which required his heart to do less work.

I'll post a photo as soon as we see the little man.
