Wouldn't you know that I missed speaking with the doctors this morning...But, we do know that there will be no more surgeries this visit. Today Jimmy went for his CT scan, they did a full body CT with contrast to make sure that all other body systems look OK. I am not sure when we will know those results.
The options as they were presented this morning are:
1. Come back in a few months and try to complete the Fontan conversion surgery.
2. Have a transplant.
3. Treat medically.
Jimmy remains in the ICU for now. I am not sure how much longer they plan on keeping him here. The insurance company didn't want to authorize a facility change if the CT and possible liver biopsy could be completed here. As I mentioned above, he had the CT scan already, they have opted not to do the liver biopsy at this time and will revisit that idea should the CT scan suggest it be done.
It is our impression that we will be able to return home sooner than we thought, but that is still unclear. Jimmy's parents are headed back to Ada later this evening. Jake and the puppy Max are going with them.
As always we appreciate your love, support, and prayers.
