We went to the cardiologist about a month ago and finally got some good news with regards to Jessica's heart defect. There was a slight improvement! She will still need a heart operation to correct the ASD, but it's not urgent. Initially the cardiologist said that we should operate between 12 and 18 months, but we can now wait until she's about 4 years old. At that time it might be possible to do the operation with a catheter and not open heart surgery!!! Excellent news!
She is really doing fine, walking now ... full of energy. Thankfully no symptoms of the hole in her heart.
We'll see a pediatric cardiologist when we get to Aus ... they're building a brand new children's hospital in Brisbane!!!
