God is good!

Colby had a follow up appointment with the cardiologist this morning, and we were told he is looking good! Jason and I are still in amazement tonight at the good news we received. His echo went great! His VSD has completely closed now, and his shunt is doing exactly what it needs to do! The echo also showed that the blood flow to his lungs is good. They tried to do an EKG, but unfortunately, Colby got a little irritated and made that impossible! Let's just say that Colby showed us all who is in charge...as if there were any question! The good news is that even after his crying episode, his sats were 88%. We couldn't believe it!

Once Colby finally calmed down, thanks to his daddy's magic touch, Dr. Liske examined him and seemed very pleased. He said Colby looks really good. I have been a little concerned about Colby's color recently, but apparently it is completely normal for him to be a little blue. We should see some improvement in his color after the Glenn Operation. The Glenn Operation is what we thought Colby would be needing in the next few weeks, but to our surprise, Dr. Liske thinks that we might be able to wait 3-4 more months! He is going to present Colby's case to all of the other cardiologists and surgeons at their conference next week to discuss it further, but he is optimistic that they will be in agreement with him about waiting as long as possible. This is such a blessing! This will give Colby a few more months to gain weight and get stronger for this complex surgery. All we can say is God is good!!!!!

Another piece of exciting news is that Dr. Liske said we can get Colby out and about a little bit more once RSV season is over. Colby has one final synagis shot, which he will get on Friday. Then, we should be in the clear in a couple of weeks! Thank goodness for Spring and the end of RSV season! We are so eager to get back to a more "normal" lifestyle.

Colby will go back to Dr. Liske for a one month follow up. Hopefully, we will have another appointment filled with good news. Until then, we will continue checking his weight and sats with our pediatrician. I am eager to see what Colby weighs on the pediatrician's scale on Friday. Even Dr. Liske said today that Colby is looking a little chubby!!! Yeah!!!!

Thank you to everyone for your continued prayers and support! We truly appreciate all of you, and we feel so blessed to have you in our lives. Once again, God is good!!!!
