Kevin's Trip to the Cardio

One of the main reasons for our trip to NJ was to have Kevin's cardio procedure done. I had it scheduled for December 7th. We went to see Dr. Donnelly, our cardiologist on December 1st for Kevin's annual visit and for all the preop work before the procedure. We were all prepared, mentally, to have it done and she told us she would rather wait. Her reasons were: 1. She wanted him to be atleast 45lbs and he is only 34lbs. 2. It is not affecting his heart at all 3. She thinks that there is still a chance it may close if he goes through a major growth spirt. I disagree. Dr. Donnelly said she feels more comfortable waiting and this was her gut instinct. She knew how far we traveled and this did not wave her opinion. So I know she has the best interest of my child in mind.

I have mixed feelings about this mainly because I just want to get it over with. I am tired of all the stress of having it in the back of my mind. But on the other hand....I want whatever is best for Kevin and if she feels like it is the best to wait....Im all for that. So heres to another year of waiting....or maybe more??
