My Cherub
November 4th, 2009
My little cherub of a daughter turned one year old just three weeks ago. She also has a congenital heart disease called tetralogy of fallot. Two days ago we were went down to Riley Children’s Hospital and had her heart tested. When we met with the doctor afterwards we learned the unsettling news that she would need another open heart surgery, and that it would need to be soon. She has been taking a beta blocker to calm her heart down, and we were hoping that it would slow the growth of the muscle, and lower the pressure at the pulmonary artery, because it was four times what is healthy. Instead it is now eight times what is healthy. That might explain why she turned blue-purlpe, for a few minutes, two weeks ago. It might also have been a factor in the seizure she appeared to have last week. So on Earl’s birthday she will be having her second open heart surgery. This has been a difficult trial for my wife and I. I know that God is in control, and I put my faith in him, and his will for us.
