I wanted to update everyone on the latest with Malachi. We met with his Cardiologist, Dr. Teske, yesterday, October 20th. We had our list of questions and he took his time answering them all, very thoroughly.
Malachi had his initial check-up. His oxygen saturations are right within range where they want them to be, his coloring looks good, and he is feeling better. With all of those things, Dr. Teske said that he felt that it would be best for Malachi to wait and have his heart surgery in the Spring. (Probably sometime in May.) This would get him through cold and flu season, and keep him out of the hospital.
He will see Malachi again in April, unless something arises before then. They will do a sedated echocardiogram on him, to get good pictures of his heart for Dr. Phillips, the surgeon. They will see him again, for a check-up, and then get him scheduled for surgery sometime in May.
We felt very at peace about the decision. We have been praying for guidance for all of Malachi's specialists, especially his heart doctors. We are completely fine with waiting. We are still going to work very hard at keeping Malachi healthy, but are glad we don't have to be quite as cautious!
We are so thankful to everyone who has prayed for us and encouraged us in so many ways! We are blessed beyond words!
Trusting in HIS timing,
April for all
