Inconclusive...

After reviewing it for several hours, Matthew's Doctor's determined that his CT Scan was inconclusive. They have since gone back and reviewed all echocardiograms he's had since he was born and have determined that there are no malformations of the lung (yes!) and the veins directing blood to and from the lung appear to be working properly (yes!).

We are now looking at the possibility that the shunt is directing more blood flow to his left lung than the right lung (they think this is unlikely) and the possibility that the excess fluid on the lung is lymphatic fluid which would be left untreated with the hope it will clear up on its own.

We're on such an emotional roller coaster it's exhausting.
