Well, I decided that I wanted to start a blog for Michael. As some of you know, he's my precious heart baby. He was born on February 21, 2011 and he was diagnosed with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum a few short hours later. On February 24, 2011, he had his first open heart surgery. He was 3 days old. Michael was in the PICU for a month. He came home for 6 days then was readmitted because he had a staph infection which ended up in another week and a half in the hospital. He had a balloon procedure done in July which determined his only option is open heart surgery.
Michael's Birthday
Day after his surgery
Fastforward to today. Michael is now 10 and a half months old and doing wonderful! He had an echocardiogram done on Tuesday (Jan 3rd). It showed that the pressures in his heart are getting lower. His cardiologist (Dr. D) said his heart looks great and that we could push back the next echo to 4 months. It was the best possible news we could hope for. MY BABY IS GETTING BETTER!!!!!!
Michael today
