Our sick little guy

May 17th 2009

I know a lot of family and friends out there are wanting an easy way to keep up with what is going on with our little man. I am going to try to my best to update out blog page as often as I can to keep you all up to date with what is going on. For anyone that has not heard already we have a very sick little guy on our hands right now. We have found out that the left side of his heart is very enlarged or dilated. It is also not pumping out the amount of blood it should be. A normal heart should pump out about 70% of the blood that is pumped into it with each beat and his is only pumping out about 10% if we are lucky. So we are in the middle of a bunch of test some of which take a week to get back and some that will take 4 weeks or so to get back. So our new home for a while is going to be at the hospital. The doctors have told us that we may never find out what has caused this but right now we are just worried about making sure he stays stable and finding out what we have to do to fix him. The doctors have done a great job with letting us know every option that could happen, from letting the hears respond to medicine all the way to getting thing ready in case a heart transplant is the way that we have to go. I should have access to the Internet while we are at the hospital and will try my best to keep you all up to date with what is going on. We love you all so much and thank you for your thoughts and payers. Please keep them coming.

Below is a picture from before we found out he was sick just in case you have not seen how cute he is.
