Evie Update

We went to see Evie's cardiologist this week, and she still has high pressure (pulmonary hypertension) in her left lung. Her doc feels that something should be done to address this sooner rather than later, to avoid long term damage to the lung. Evie's situation will be discussed this week at Hope Childrens Hospital when the cardiac team has their weekly meeting. After that, we will have a better idea of exactly what and when things will happen.

We thought we'd have a little more time before she had another procedure, and when we know more, we will update all of you. But overall, her cardiologist and nurse thought she looked great. She is walking really well now, and just needs to gain weight. She has been stuck at around 16 1/2 pounds since January!

Evie was in a great mood when she woke up from her nap the other day. She was giggling and playing peek-a-boo by her oxygen machine:

She thought it was so neat that she could stick her hand under the handle:
