Heart and Eye Concerns

Marilyn:

I talked to the Doctor today and she informed me that the valve in Jackson's heart is slightly opened, which may be causing his heart murmur. The doctors will consult with a cardiologist and do another echo gram to determine what needs to be done. This may clear up on his own by 3 to 6 months, or he may need medication or surgery. Jackson is doing well clinically, so hopefully this will not become an issue.

Jackson had his eye exam today. He has ROP, zone 2 level 2. This means his risk has increased. We will continue to pray that his eyes and heart will develop normally. I feel like everything will be fine. He is in the Lords hands.

Jackson weighs 5 lbs 3 oz today!

I miss my boys and look forward to seeing them tomorrow evening.
