We Have No Idea What Happened This Day...

Hi Everybody,

Unfortunately, we had a long day in Chicago Monday where it appears that the scheduler misunderstood the purpose of our trip and we were mistakenly scheduled to see an adult Cardiologist who wanted to do an exam of Amy's heart instead of the baby's. We attempted to get things straightened out but at the end of the day we decided to just laugh it off simply because it seemed like more fun than crying.

In the meantime, we have finally scheduled an appointment with the Cardiac team at St. Francis in Peoria for August 20. We're blessed to have one of the best children's heart surgeons in the country right here in Peoria and we are really hoping to have the procedures done here.

On another note, we received a letter this week from our specialist in Peoria stating that he believes the Hypoplastic Right Ventricle is being caused by something called Pulmonary Atresia. In Pulmonary Atresia no pulmonary valve exists (or is completely blocked) so blood can't flowing from his right ventricle to his lungs.

If nothing else, this information will allow us to pray more specifically going forward. Thanks again for all of the prayers and the emails. It really does help to know there are others who care so much.

Love, Craig, Amy & Taylor (& Baby Boy)
