We have seen several babies this morning. Several of them will just be watched as they grow. Their heart defects are not severe enough to need intervention at this time.
We have seen a set of sisters. Claudia is 17 and Dilcia is 15. They both have atrial septal defects. Claudia's will be repaired in September. Dilcia's is a little more complicated, but attempts will be made to repair her's also. Mom stated that they both have been so sick since they were small. A doctor had told her what the problems were, but never told her there was possible way of fixing the problem. She left very hopeful for both girls.
It is now 11:30a. We have completed to caths and 10 echos....the day continues.
God BLESS you all in the week ahead,, as you relate to all the pts and families!!! (since I had the wonderful privilege of taking care of last September's pts during their recuperation time at Barnabe House,these teams have a dear place in my heart!) May you be His instruments of Love to everyone you meet!!
