Post Fontan - Looking Good!

Blake is doing amazing and feeling so well! Yesterday he had a follow up with his cardiologist in Austin with glowing reports. His oxygen saturations have settled in at a whopping 97! Xrays showed NO fluid around his lungs. Echocardiogram showed NO fluid around his heart and the Fontan circuit operating perfectly. We couldn't ask for a better follow up!

Blake is staying at home for the next four weeks to be sure we minimize his exposure to germs and that he doesn't have any trauma to his chest, and we have to stay tight on the fluid restrictions, but he seems to be adjusting well to this routine. Everyone that has seen him so far can't believe how great he looks and his amazing color!

We just can't thank everyone enough for your wishes and prayers. We have truly been so blessed.
