An Update and a Picture

I was able to talk to the cardiologist last night after they did the ultrasound. We are still on schedule for the surgeries. The first one should happen by the end of this week. They will do another ultrasound today to check out his abdomen. This will hopefully tell us whether or not he has heterotaxy and, if so, what other issues that has caused, if any.

So, we did not get the specific miracle that we have all been praying for, but that doesn't mean we won't get the general one. Make no mistake about it: if the surgeon is able to successfully restructure Ayden's heart so that he can live an almost normal life, that will be a miracle.
