We are enjoying Malachi getting older and developing more and more of his personality. He is standing and walking around holding onto things and scoots on his bottom while sitting. I thought that day would never come!
We saw his Cardiologist on April 10th and found out a tenative schedule for the next few months. Malachi will have a sedated Echo done on June 16th (Philip's Birthday) to check the narrowing in his Pulmonary Artery. After this they will have a Cardiac Conference about him. They will be discussing either doing a Heart Cath to "check" things and schedule him for surgery, or just schedule him for surgery. Dr. Teske, his Cardiologist, wants to have the surgery done before RSV season... RSV is a very deadly respiratory infection that is bad for children with heart conditions. RSV season starts in either September or October. I asked Dr. Teske if it was bad to do Malachi's surgery before he turns two, which is in November. He said that doing the surgery sooner is fine. Philip and I look at it as getting it "over with" before Thanksgiving and Christmas time. We are praying this surgery will be Malachi's last, as there is no guarantee that Malachi won't need more sugeries in the future.
Enjoy the pictures we took at Easter. He is such a "ham!" Thanks to all for your constant prayers and support. Hope this update helps inform everyone on the latest!
Love you all!
April for all
