Sweet Hazel had a super long day but behaved herself during all the testing! Today we learned good news mixed with a bit of not so good.
Good news first: Hazel has gained another 4 ounces putting her just shy of 10 pounds! With this weight gain, the cardiologist was able to see that the hole in her heart is closing!!!
Not so great news: with the ECHO it was found that Hazel’s valves are not fully connected to her heart. Her cardiologist has given Hazel 3 months to gain enough weight to see if putting on the chunk will put pressure on the valves and push them closer to her heart. We were told that sometimes in infancy there is still time for the heart to correct this issue as a baby grows (this can take 2-3 years to fully correct.) If in 3 months her heart doesn’t show progress she will need to have stints and coils placed to connect the valves to her heart.
With all this news one thing is so super clear: God CAN perform miracles and your prayers are being heard! Please continue to pray for complete healing over Hazel, that she will continue to grow bigger, stronger and for complete healing. She is all of our little heart warrior!
