Cardiology Visit

Today we took Lorelei to the cardiologist. It was a good visit, she was good while they took her blood pressures and listened to her heart. She got a little annoyed with the ECHO but she just wanted to run around. Dr. Shuler said that her pressures were higher then they were the last visit but her heart muscle isn't thickening. (good) He is going to consult with Dr. Bradley, Lo's surgeon, and we will know at the end of the week if and when we will go to MUSC for a sedated ECHO and a heart catherization. These will show us better pics of her heart and Dr. Shuler seems to think that a peice of tissue just needs to be cut out around her aortic valve so the pressures will go down instead of her having to have the Ross Procedure where they would do valve replacements. I will let you know when we know. Keep praying!
