(dr. visit buddies)
Bea has had 2 follow up visits with the cardiologist since coming home from surgery. She is doing so well!
(happy homecoming)
Though she has had some fluid around her heart, it had diminished by the second appointment
and so we are hopeful and prayerful that it will be completely gone by the next.
(goodies on the way)
Since she's on a particular blood thinner, she has to have weekly blood labs for a while (6 months or so). That's been an adjustment along with some new medications and times, but otherwise Bea's transition back home has been beautiful.
There's a sense of completion having finished off Bea's surgeries. Although she will still need a transplant someday, we rest in knowing that for now, we have done all that we can to help her heart. By the time her transplant is needed, medical technology will have advanced so greatly, that we really don't discuss the future yet, but it's bright. And full of hope.
We thank God for all that He has accomplished in Bea's young life.
She is a testimony of His faithfulness and we are so blessed to get to be part of her journey.
"He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms;
he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young."
Isaiah 40:11
