Charleston Bound

Well, we went to our routine cardiologist appointment and...(don't get your britches in a wad) everthing is GREAT, but we did find out that it is time to head back to MUSC for a heart cath. He said that we would probably hear from MUSC by the end of the month but they gave us a call the next day! For now, the big day will be April 5. The purpose of this heart cath is to close the fenestration (aka hole) that they left during his last surgery. Remember they intentionally left this hole there to allow for an easier/better recovery. It has allowed him to adjust to the change in pressure throughout his body.[ His major vessels (inferior vena cava, superior vena cava, pulmonary artery, etc.) are "hooked" up completely different than a healthy heart.] So, please remember Jackson in your prayers, and us too! Poor thing doesn't have a clue as to what lies ahead (and won't until we hit the front door)! He has a very BIG case of "white coat syndrome". He tends to flip out and worry himself (and us) sick when he knows that he is headed to see the doctor. Please pray for peace and comfort for Jackson and us as we prepare mentally and emotionally to head to Charleston. I know that I am a horrible blogger, but I do intend on posting some snow pics and other stuff very soon. Stay tuned...
