Thursday was Lyla's MRI. Again, it was no fun watching her get sedated or waking up from the anesthesia. It took her about an hour to fully come back to normal, but thankfully she doesn't seem to have any adverse reactions to the anesthesia. She was able to keep the milk and juice down and we came home with a tipsy baby. We were finally able to hear the results from the MRI today. Praise God! Our cardiologist started by saying that she was encouraged by the results! Her heart is pumping normally, the thickness of the right side hasn't increased so isn't a problem, the pulmonary arteries are still narrowed (as is expected) but have grown since the last MRI, and the blood flow to both of her lungs is equal! It was awesome hearing that news! The fact that the arteries are growing means that they are pushing off the catheterization almost indefinitely! Hopefully they will continue to keep up with her as she grows and won't be a problem :-) The only other thing they're keeping an eye on is the pulmonary valve which is leaking, but not a major issue at this time. They only want to see us back in 6-8 months!
I just feel so relieved that so many things that we've been worried about have been put to rest and God is being so gracious to us! It's a huge burden lifted to know our baby boy is healthy and that Lyla is doing so awesome!
Please continue to pray for a lot of decisions that Peter and I will need to make in the next months. We know that God is faithful and will provide a clear path for us! Thank you friends! We would not have gotten this far without your faithful prayers!
