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".

We had a little scare on Wednesday. RJ. woke up with a migraine and started throwing up, he slept most of the day (when he wasn't puking). Finally went away by late afternoon, thank heavens, scared the crap out of us. Thursday R.J. felt so much better and had a visit from his sixth grade teacher Mrs. Wright. Thanks for the carmel popcorn Mrs. Wright. We are hoping for a nice lazy holiday weekend, parade on Monday, and neighborhood BBQ that night with some fireworks. We will take pictures to post and show how much better he looks.
