As you can see, we have given our blog a much needed face lift thanks to the help of friends. I sure do enjoy the lovely tulips much better!
Well, I don't want to jinx anything by saying that Eden had another good day today. I really am so happy that she seems to have turned a little corner, but I am also very hesitant in getting too excited because I know that backward steps can happen at any time.
When I arrived this morning I knew that I would be speaking to her cardiologist about the "big decision." The team of cardiologists, surgeons and intensivists all met this morning to discuss little Eden. Oh to be so popular! Anyway, they did a repeat echocardiogram this weekend with the cardiologist present and he said that he did not see an abnormal gradient on the aortic valve and he did not see any muscle build up in the left ventricle either. This was such good news for us. He also said that they were extremely perplexed with Eden because she has suddenly started to do so well. I just smiled, but I know that it has everything to do with all of you fasting and praying extra hard for her yesterday. He said that they do not have to do the Norwood surgery right now and they are still planning on just one more surgery in about 3-4 months. If she keeps ups the good work she could very possibly get to a point where she is just eating, growing and getting stronger. We have always known she had one more surgery in front of her and if it can wait for 3-4 months I would be so happy. They are also hoping at this point to keep the left side of her heart since people in general do so much better with a two ventricle heart as opposed to a one ventricle heart.
Eden is also taking a whopping 8 cc's in her feeding tube now with no stomach distention. I am so proud of her today and I know that we have seen a miracle with her healing. Marcus and I are so thankful for all of you and the faith you have in our little girl. We feel that this is a direct answer to many prayers offered in her behalf and we know that we have witnessed little miracles. Please continue to pray that Eden will improve each day and "perplex" her doctors once again.
