R.J.'s Diagnosis

At the age of two R.J. was diagnosed with a condition called Aortic Stenosis. He has a growth of tissue in his heart that blocks the flow of blood into the Aorta. Over the last ten years the tissue has enlarged and now must be removed. The function of his Aortic valve has also been affected and may need to be repaired. This requires open heart surgery.

R.J. will be having surgery sometime soon at Primary Children's Hospital. We are very grateful to be living so near a wonderful hospital and feel confident that all will go well with his surgery. We have started this blog to keep friends and family updated and in the "know".

So Good!!!

R.J.'s doing sooo good! No nausea, he's holding down liquids, he wakes up and talks even though it doesn't always make sense. Hopefully R.J will be released from ICU tomorrow, and moved to a regular room. He has said some of the cutest things on the meds they have him on. We will keep everyone posted, and comments are great, Thanks!
