To those affected by a heart defect:

Haven’s Heart Doing OK

December 20, 2006 at 11:54 am by Mom & Dad

The doctors came by this morning to let us know that they are pleased with Haven’s heart:  the repairs, and the recovery so far.  Unfortunately, since she did go through so much trauma last Friday they are still concerned about her kidney function.  They are meeting with the Kidney folks today to discuss options for Haven.  She obviously has a LONG way to go before we can all go home, but we are happy to hear that, for the time being, her heart is doing well.  Their current goal is to be off of the ECMO cardiac support by the weekend.

Thanks for the Happy Anniversary wishes.  We’re so happy to have each other always, but especially through times like these.  Hope to hear from you soon.
