Today we had our first scheduled Cardiology appointment for Zechariah in Minnesota. We were excited to meet our new cardiologist and hear our normal updates and find out that we need to come back for another check up in 6 months.
That unfortunately was not how the day’s events panned out. We did go to Zechariah’s cardiologist and met her and are excited to have her talk to us in a way that we can understand. However the report that we heard was the unexpected.
Ever since Zechariah’s open-heart surgery 4 years ago, Zak has had elevated pulmonary pressures. Today they were elevated higher than what we have come to know as his normal dangerously high. We were told that the only reasonable next step was to get him into the cardiac cath lab. I will explain what this means to the best of my understanding. Zechariah will be put under and then they insert a scope into his heart and take pictures and measurements of the inside of his heart to check out what can be causing this elevated pressures.
To our surprise they had an opening in the Cardiac Catherization Lab on Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Basically we are calling all forces to pray that the doctors will have wisdom on how to take care of Zechariah.
God is so faithful. He brings us his incredible peace and takes care of us through anything. We know that we aren’t in this alone but God is our strong tower. God loves Zechariah more than I ever could. He has incredible plans for him.
So anyway we are just asking you to join with us and pray. Ultimately that God would touch Zak’s heart and heal him and also for wisdom for the doctors and for Scott and I on what the best way to move forward on the care for our precious little man.Blessings we will keep you updated, as we know more.
