Tommorrow me and AJ make a trip to the Cardiologist at 8:30 AM. They told us at the last appointment that they wanted to do her next surgery when she made it to 15 Kilograms. Well, she's there. So they're going to schedule her Heart Catheterization, and within a month of that the surgery will need to take place. What she's getting is the Fontan Procedure, which is the third stage of the Norwood. For those of you who don't know, Aurora has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Here is a link to show you what it is.
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. This next link is to a site that describes the Norwood procedure, a three stage operation which is explained pretty fully.
The Norwood.. Aurora is facing the Fontan, which is explained in the next link.
The Fontan.. I'll post another bulliten and blog after i get home from her appointment. I'm feelin really nervous about all this, and scared cause this is supposedly the hardest surgery, and her mom, well her mom isn't around and the court wont let her be around cause she's stuck on drugs. Anyways. Everyone say a prayer for AJ and me. and I"ll keep u all updated on everything.
