Latest Development

Nancy took Kelsey to the cardiologist on Friday. It appears that her oxygen level has dropped to a point where they are getting worried about her. She still appears to be fine. The doctor called and spoke to the surgeon and they are wanting to move her surgery date up. She has another appointment on Wednesday. Nancy said that they found that Kelsey's pulmonary artery is to narrow and they may cut and implant a stint of some type into the artery. The doctor is not sure as to the length of the narrowed artery, which may require an angioplasty also known as balloon dilation to open up the unknown narrowed artery at a later date. I will update as I get a better understanding as to what the doctor is thinking.

My baby girl was born on Aug. 9 and diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot.

I will be thinking of you and your family. Good luck with your surgery, Kelsey.
