Update

Dr Tong called back and he isn't concerned about these issues at this time. He said that over since his 2nd surgery his sats will start to lower. He said if he is active, upset, crying, etc. when his sats are taken then they will be lower and not accurate. On the other issue about his breathing, he said that now that he is more active his heart is working harder and getting tired out more easily, which is a common thing with people who have a single ventrical heart. That's why they most generally can't participate in sports that require long endurance.

He said that since he's coming down with a cold or whatever, he wants me to wait until he gets over it and see if he's still doing this thing with his breathing. We have a scheduled appt with him on April 6th, so that should be enough time for him to get over whatever he has. Please pray for him. I automatically start thinking that his aorta has gotten too narrow again whenever something comes up and it's especially nerve wracking now since the dr that did his last heart cath told us that they wouldn't be able to do any more good with a balloon procedure. I think he's fine but still want everyone to pray for him.
