Jerry is stable with no changes since his last exam except....he is on the growth chart! He is at the 3rd percentile and holding steady! The doctors were thrilled with this. The latest opinion is that the greater likelihood is that Jerry's heart will be OK for at least the next 10 years. We really happy with this although a heart transplant at any point for my guy is a difficult thing to think about. Being older would certainly be easier in many ways. And of course all bets are guarded with "he needs to be monitored" and "we don't know for sure." He is wearing a 24 hour monitor and doing great with that..."his little heart computer." He did so well for all of his appointment except taking the EKG stickies off. Usually we would just leave them on and take them off at home which would be easier for him but since they had to put the halter monitor on we needed the other stickies off. He was spoiled enough by Nurse Linda to make up for the agony. Big brother came along which is always helpful for Jerry and he did great too . Linda gave him a huge remote control truck so big brother is pretty happy too. Things moved quickly today and we got home way earlier than usual. What a great day!
