Sorry for the late response but we have been running a bit since the end of the MRI on Monday.
So on Monday Brody went through his MRI. It is what they thought DORV with Tetrology (elongating of one of the arteries). They want him to grow into it a bit before doing any surgury to be certain that they do the right correction. We have been told that could be anywhere from 3- 6 months out and will be back in Vancouver. We are confident in both the Cardiac Surgeon and the Cardiologist however we are now flying by the seat of our pants and watching for signs. It is a really odd feeling..not only do you worry about the typical newborn things but now we have to watch for signs of blue or minor distress. Kind of scarey but I know we can do it. Brody is a pretty tough little guy I know he will be great through all of this.
After his MRI we were free to leave and leave we did. We went to stay at the Fairmount Hotel at the Vancouver Airport to be that much closer to home. It was great :) We were able to get onto the direct Air Canada on Tuesday at noon and are now home safe and sound.
It has been quite the whirlwind to begin with and now the home life becomes interesting just due to having Caine being a bit confused as to why this baby isn't going home and why Mom can't play. It will be an interesting few months.
Feel free to call us anytime to come for a visit...Brody loves to be cuddled. We will still add to this blog as we move closer to the day of surgury as we have tons of doctor and specialist appointments coming up that we will keep everyone atuned to.
