**Update on Josiah:
I had my second appointment with Dr. V (the pediatric cardiologist) today. This time I was only there an hour, I'll take that over 2 1/2! Everything looked the same which is alright, it's better than looking worse! Dr. V mentioned the right side of Josiah's heart looks very strong, PRAISE THE LORD! This is a wonderful thing, seeing as how it will be doing the work of both sides...that is unless the Lord decides to heal him before he joins us in this world. Which I have no doubt He can do, we will just wait and see what path He chooses to lead us down.
I don't believe I mentioned this in any of my other posts, but last week Dr. V asked if he could send our ultrasound up to Boston Children's Medical. Boston Children's is considered the #1 hospital for the type of surgery Josiah will be having and right now they have been doing some experimental surgery for part of Josiah's condition. The twist to this surgery is that it is performed while he is still in my womb! It is SO crazy to me that they can do that! The surgery would basically attempt to expand the narrowing of his aortic valve by inflating a small balloon. Anthony and I had already decided we would not persue this route, but we allowed Dr. V to send the ultrasound video anyway. We heard last week that I was not a candidate for this experimental surgery, but they did confirm Dr. V's diagnosis. It was kind of nice to have a second opinion from the top children's hospital in the nation as far as cardiac issues are concerned.
**I also wanted to thank all of you who have told us that we are in your prayers/church's prayer lists. You have no idea how overwhelmed and grateful we are for each and everyone of you! Thank you all so much for keeping the 3 of us in your prayers, what a blessing it is!!**
