Blake update - 4 months post Fontan

Monday we went to our cardiologist for Blake to get his routine check up. One of the first tests they do is pulse ox. I almost fell off the floor as I watched Blake's stay at 100 for the full minute they tested it - it really is such a miracle.

They also did an echocardiogram which revealed his Fontan valve is wide open and there is no fluid around his heart. This allowed us to finally drop the Lasix from his drugs (which means he will pee less, thank goodness) and now we are back to just Enalypryl and baby Asprin.

He truly is our little superman!
