Noah went for his heart cath yesterday. While he was sedated, they did also did an ultrasound. The cardiologist who spoke with Maria yesterday after the procedure thinks that Noah’s heart is a little too big and muscular. It may have been a little large when it went in. Now, though, it’s muscles have gotten tougher due in part to the steroids given as part of the anti-rejection treatment. So the heart is real good at contracting, but not so efficient when it comes to relaxing after contracting. This, the cardiologist thinks, is the source of the recent problems in maintaining Noah’s health. Unfortunately, the only medicine to treat this is time. We are just hoping that it’s not too much time and that the majority of the time won’t be spent in step-down where Maria is unable to leave Noah. At least this weekend we’ll have a room back at the Ronald McDonald House.
Congratulations to my sister and her family on the birth of baby Clara Ann Gaines today. The baby weighed six pounds and eleven ounces and that's all I konw about her right now.
