Update from the medical professionals

We had another good appointment yesterday. Guy was very cool and calm having the ECG and the Echo.

So for the results (which I kind of understand):

• heart size has gone from 72 to 52 and normal for his size is 33. I'm not sure what the numbers mean but they are heading in the right direction!
• his blood flow has gone from 17 when in hospital to 35 last time and is now 42. Normal is between 55 and 70
• fractional shortening (not a clue what it means, but am about to google it!) has gone from 15 to 22 and normal is 33

He has come of the bottom line of the weight percentiles and has grown along the average line in height. So weight is gaining faster than height which is also good.

So yah! Superhero status is still well and truly maintained.

There are no changes to any drugs - don't mess with a winning formula! The docs are happy enough to have pushed out his next appointment by a month, so we won't be back for another 4 months.

And for those who can, watch Breakfast next Wednesday morning (26th) for Heart Kids - Guy and I will be elbowing our way to Tamati's side for our 15 seconds of fame!

We had a lovely night last night with a barbecue for Maree and Johnny (not exactly the weather for it). I could have done without Maree getting creative with cocktails at 11pm. Mastering a cocktail for 42 Below passionfruit took a few attempts and some interesting ideas... photos to come at a later date. We are heading to Omaha for the night tonight to spend more time with the Aussies.
