Recent Dr Visit

Today, I went to see my cardiologist at UAB. I had a very good report. The Dr said that the pulses in my feet were very good which means that the balloon procedure they did about a month ago during the heart cath was very successful, yea!!! My weight was up to 11lbs and 7oz. The hole in my heart has actually gotten a little smaller however, Dr Colvin still feels that open heart surgery is necessary. My parents and I are not too sure about that. We still believe that God could continue to close the hole so that is what we are praying for. If it doesn't close on it's own then we are praying that the surgery will go as smooth as possible with no complications and that I will be on my way to a full recovery as soon as possible.
Dr Colvin did not schedule me another appointment with him. He said he would notify the surgeon and when we hear back from the surgeon then we will schedule the surgery. I am assuming that means I will have the surgery sometime next month or the following month. I will try to keep everyone updated and please, please, please continue to pray for me and my family as we go through this bump in life.
Love In Christ,
Harper
