Headed to the big D

Tomorrow we leave for Dallas for our big appointments Wednesday. We start with a heart echo. This time London's heart is big enough to see the full situation. Last time we got a diagnosis but two parts of it were in question because it was too early to tell. This time we will learn if her aortic arch is interrupted or not. If it is not interrupted the aortic arch will have to be widened as it is too skinny. Interrupted, it will be widened and connected to the bottom of her heart. We will sit with the doctors after they determine and discuss the process of surgery that they already explained. This time it will be definite and know which part will be added on to her Norwood procedure. I pray her aorta is better than expected and her hypoplastic right ventricle is all she will deal with.

After lunch we go straight to the maternal fetal medicine doctor where they will do a full ultrasound on London. This is just because she will be delivering London and have not done an ultrasound for herself. Our doctor here has done frequent ultrasounds on London and has updated all of our doctors. I hope she's much more cooperative this time and we can see her full face and more of her body. We will meet with that doctor after to discuss my care, date of move to Dallas and London's delivery.

I am feeling pretty good. This whole hypoplastic journey has taken away my worry..worry makes me sick and nothing changes. Earlier today I was sitting in my chair after eating my tasty breakfast and just called out to God. Give me strength, give me hope and give me eyes for the future. Don't look at the now or even the near future and fear, we will pull through. Give London strength, give London health and send us an angel. An angel to make their way to Dallas this Wednesday...
