Yes, we are going back, again. We knew it was possible that Emma would have to go back to Charleston for another procedure within the next year but we never thought it would be this soon. Since Emma was showing signs of her body working too hard again, Dr. O contacted Dr. B (the surgeon) at MUSC & he agreed there needed to be an intervention with Emma. Dr. B called me himself (vary rare) on Friday & asked us to come on Monday, Nov. 30 for a 3D echo & maybe a diagnositic heart cathe. He said once he & his team took a look at the images then he would be able to decide the best way to approach the remaining VSD's. He also told me to come packed & prepared to stay, so we will be there until Emma's procedure is scheduled, completed & she is discharged.
We kind of have mixed feeling about heading to Charleston again. On one hand we know she needs another intervention but on the other hand she is back to her old self. She is pulling up again, playing by herself & sleeping through the night (although she was teething too & that could be part of it). If Emma does have to have surgery it will probably set her back again but thankfully she is a very strong little girl + her PT has helped a lot.
Please continue to keep us all in your prayers as well as the medical staff at MUSC Children's Hospital Heart Center. We are so blessed to have as many friends, family members & friends of friends who are keeping Emma in their prayers. We can truely feel the warmth around us, thanks so much. God Is Good!!!
