I don't want to alarm people, but Eli has not been improving in his breathing so this morning they looked into some other aspects of what could be going on. They found some concerning things on an echo of his heart. At this point they are not really sure what is going on, but there is a chance he could have my heart defect. We are getting moved over to Seattle Children's Hospital this afternoon so their pediatric cardiology team can determine what is going on. This has been a very upsetting morning for me. I know (I am living proof) that this anomaly can have amazing outcomes, but it is still so hard to see your tiny baby going through this. Something that I thought the echo we did at our high risk ultra sound had ruled out.
So please be praying for strength for Eli through all of this and also strength for me and Ryan. I have already seen Eli's strength in so many ways, he amazes me with how strong he is! But we really need God's peace and protection right now. I have concluded that my experience here with Caleb has just been my practice run for this little dude.
Please be praying!
we are praying, thanks for updating!

I'm praying too! You've got me as proof too that a heart defect CAN be corrected! Love to you all and many blessings.
ReplyDeleteAdrienne,
ReplyDeleteI can relate to what you're going through. It's one of the hardest things ever. I will think good thoughts for baby Eli. I hope everything turns out great. Hang in there!
