Zach Update #2

Posted by David Pierce on Mar 30 2005 at 04:00PM PST
Hello everybody !!! I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you all know that we were at Children's (again) on Friday. Zach needed to be seen by cardiologists and ear, nose, throat doctors to be cleared for the MRI. Well, we finally received some good news. Zach's heart is A-ok...no defects, no murmurs, blood is flowing properly, and beating perfectly. He was seen by two cardiologists, and he allowed them to do an ECHO on him (with some great coaxing by the technician, Gary...he so totally rocks !!!) Gary did the ECHO and allowed Zach to sit on his lap and "help" with the test...it was surreal to be staring at your child's heart and watch it pump blood, and pulsate to its own beat. The ENT wants another sleep study and a special xray done on his head to determine if his sinuses and adnoids are out of whack, and then we'll go from there (possibly more surgery). But for now, we're thrilled with our healthy-heart little boy. In case you're wondering, the MRI is to determine how involved Zach's Chiari Malformation is and if it requires surgery. They also are looking for a tethered cord in his spine (another offshoot of FG). One day at a time--eh?? Ok, that's all for now==you all take care, and again thanks for the thoughts and prayers...we love you all !!!
