Meeting Dr. Delaney
William's weighs 9 pounds 11 ounces and is in the 50 percentile. Dr. Delaney would like him to gain a little more weight but he has not lost so that is a positive. William's ecco showed that his right ventricle is opening up but is still not open enough to function on its own without the shunt. Before they can close the shunt they need to know for sure that right ventricle can handle the stress of acting on its own. The next two months are critical in finding this out. Dr. Delaney had more positives than negatives so that made Scott and I very very happy. We head back on October 20th and hopefully we know more. I am keeping postive and by looking at Will you cannot even tell he is sick. He is a fighter!
