Good Follow Up

Today Cole had his one week surgery follow up appt. with the pediatrician. The incision is healing well as well as the cut they had to make for his drainage tube. Cole's heart and lungs sound good. His color is nice and pink due to the collaterals bringing extra blood with oxygen to his lungs. Right now they are doing us a favor because Cole should be in the 70's for oxygen levels after this surgery. The not so good news is probably sooner than we like we will be going in for another catheterization to insert more coils into these collaterals because in the long run these will cause heart failure for Cole. We go back to see his cardiologist and surgeon on the 25th. We'll be back for updates. Thank you for keeping up with us through the blog!
