Update On Perrin's Heart

Yesterday we went to see Perrin's Cardiologist. There is some good news and some not so good news. The good news is that Perrin's aortic valve is growing with him and that his leak from the balloon cath is mild. The not so good news is that the "aortic arch" appears to be on the small side. The doctor said that we would come back in 4 to 6 weeks and they would take a look at his heart again. If it appears that the arch isn't growing well, then they would give him an MRI and/or balloon cath the arch. Both procedures require anesthesia. Perrin's weight is up to 14 lbs 8 oz. He's getting to be a big guy.

ETA : They were able to do the ECG without the sedative! :o) Yay!!!
