Long day yesterday. We were in Lex from 9 to 4 for Athan's appointments. We saw endocrinology, cardiology, and the NICU Grad Clinic.
Endo - We'll hear from her soon about the lab results (which tell us whether we need to tweak his dosages or not). Otherwise, all is well.
Cardio - We repeated his ECHO and EKG, which Dr. K says have almost no change. He did say that the presure in his right ventricle is higher than he would like, so we'll probably be moving the surgery up a little. We thought his heart surgery would be near his first birthday, but now it will probably be February some time. Dr. K will discuss Athan with the surgeon on Monday, and we will hopefully hear more specifics then.
NICU Clinic - This was just a general follow-up. The did developmental assesments, we spoke with a dietician, and saw a pediatrician (Dr. Desai, who is wonderful!). No surprises, really: He looks good. He's still behind on some developmental milestones, but he's catching up. Same with weight gain.
Laurie will be here any minute for our last PT session before the C-mas break.

Thanks for the update. Sorry I had to interrupt the first version. We had a great time with Morgan. She's such a little sweetie, and she never seems to get tired of watching the boys in all their glory.
When you do all hit the road?
Adam and I will start praying today, and we won't stop until after his surgery. I'm confident that God will continue to be faithful to protecting Athan during this next adventure. It's just something else to add to his amazing success story.
We love you.
