In just a month we should be through with JJ's cardiac cath. Then we'll know which direction we're meant to go with him. I'm not looking forward to it, but anxious to get it over with at the same time.
It's not like it's his first cath ever. After all, since being diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and going through the four surgeries, he's had plenty. But this one feels so different.
We're surely hoping that the docs tell us we can just leave him alone for a bit—at least a year. But there's a chance he'll need repair or replacement of two valves. And there's always that chance that they'll decide he needs to be listed for a transplant. That's the scariest option.
Really hoping that God takes us down the easy path this time. Too hard to think about having my kid in surgery again. Besides, he's way too busy enjoying summer to be bothered with all that medical stuff. The cath alone will be too much of an intrusion for him!
Guess we'll find out what the next month will bring.
