We DON’T HAVE TO SEE CARDIOLOGY TEAM FOR THREE MONTHS!!!!

I have to start off by saying: THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKS ALL OF THOSE GOOD THOUGHTS AND BIG PRAYERS ARE WORKING!! Today’s cardiologist appointment was full of good news.   Marshall gained 1.5 lbs and grew 1.5 inches in the past two months.  The echo went well.  The gradient measurement is the same.  His heart function has improved a […]

Happy Progress Friday

Marshall is shedding fluid like a champ.  And the team has begun the process of getting rid of things. They took him off dopamine.  They took away the pacer. His saturations are great. His pressures are great. They also slightly decreased the oxygen in his vent. And there is mention of getting his chest closed […]

Unless Marshall’s oxygen saturations decline then it will be sooner So it is back to isolation for Marshall and me in the weeks between then and now…. Breathe, Rebecca… Please send good thoughts, prayers, and any […]

Outpatient

Marshall’s apointment with Dr Friedman went well. We have to have some blood work done and we will be on OUR WAY HOME 🙂  Echo looks good.  Marshall looks great.  He has gained some so it is a matter of optimizing his calorie intake…will fiddle with that after speaking with nutritionist. We will need to […]
