End Of Year Update

NEXT APPOINTMENT: May 2012, for a sedated echocardiogram and EKG.

In a matter of days 2011 will have passed, and we will look back on another amazing year for Maren Blue. She is a beautiful, smart and playful two and a half year old now, talking, laughing, running, jumping, and mimicking her older brothers as much as she can. Her echocardiogram in November showed that she is holding steady and there is no surgery in her immediate future. Her oxygen levels remain very good (in the low to mid nineties) and her valves are functioning adequately. She is still on track for a new pulmonary valve to be inserted at some point, but potentially not for many years. Further, due to the continuing advances in medicine, it is possible this valve could be inserted via a catheter surgery rather than open chest.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
