Medical Updates!

We have received the labs back and everything is looking good. Both girls had positive TB Skin test, which was not a surprise since they had both received the BCG vaccine. Their chest x-rays have come back clear so again... looks good. Sophia is currently on an antibiotic for possible Pneumonia (she is not sick at all, but the Radiologist commented on it in the chest x-rays so the pediatrician gave her an antibiotic). The cardiologist appointment was today. The cardiologist said Anastasia is FINE. Sophia's report is better than expected. The cardiologist did not find Pulmonary Hypertension. He also found that the AV Canal was only a "partial" since she had a tissue that had formed a small patch which protected her heart from further damage. She will continue on her meds since it will only help reduce the backflow, but he debated stopping them altogether. She will go back in 6 months and be scheduled for catheter to verify the doctors findings are correct prior to scheduling surgery. He said the surgery could be a year or 2 from now if needed. We will see how she is adjusting and he is hoping she will be better able to communicate then as well. Ideally, it would be done prior to her starting school, but under the circumstances... he is willing to wait. We were very encouraged by the doctors findings and thankful that both girls appointment went fairly well (considering). Thank you all for your prayers! :) Oh... we also have our new glasses! I will get better photos later, but for now...
