Cardiology

Jonah had an appointment today with Dr. Zintz... the cardiologist.  We started the visit with a heart ultrasound.  Ms. Carol was able to get the best pictures to date because Jonah held so still.  Everyone was so proud of him!  Jonah's heart pressures finally fell withing the "normal" range.  So what does that mean?  It means that his pulmonary hypertension (the reason he is on a daily dose, 3 to be exact, of Viagra) shows marked improvement.  Dr. Zints and Dr. Lee (pulmonology) have been discussing Jonah's case and have come to the conclusion that come the first week of June (so long as he does not have a respiratory bug) we will eliminate one dose of Viagra.  Then we'll need to see both doctors around 3-4 weeks post change.  So exciting to see improvements!
