Is it time...?

Dr. Cottrill called me on Tuesday afternoon and said she had reviewed Elyse's echo pictures. She is concerned about the leak in her valve. She is not sure why this has happened with Elyse's heart. She is taking her pictures from the echo to her weekly meeting with other cardiologists on Monday, to present Elyse's case. She said she suspects that it may be time for the pacemaker. Her hope is that the pacemaker would speed up the heart rate and possibly "reverse the leak." So... we will know something on Monday. Please pray for our sweet girl's heart, guidance in our doctor's decisions, and strength for all of us. We knew the time would come for a pacemaker, we just didn't know when. Now that it could be near, it is scary, but we are reassured that God's hand is in all of this.

Our prayers will be strong and loving support will get you through this. Thank goodness for the technology that allows the doctors an inside vieww to correct problems before they get big.
