Remember this entry? This was back when we were assured that Zoe's heart defect, while potentially fatal, was treatable through surgery. Dr. Frommelt felt certain that Zoe's heart was strong and that she'd have an excellent chance at repairing her Tetralogy of Fallot.
Fast forward to today. Zoe's pediatrician says that Zoe's wailing over the last few days was about her heart. Her oxygenation to her upper body is in the mid 80's while her oxygenation to her feet is in the 90's. This, says Dr. Estill, is what happens when you have a heart defect. Her murmur is much more noticeable since she last listened a few weeks ago.
We called Children's to set up an appointment with their Pediatric Cardiology department. If the good odds we were given at the end of November have degraded - maybe even to only 10% - that's the odds she's got now. We'll take those odds. Cardiology offered July 3. We're not sure if Zoe can wait that long. Dr. Estill will call to see if she can intervene.

Praying for earlier intervention in getting Zoe in and for the Lord to give her strength for each new day as you wait. Asking God to keep it all together in His perfect will. This is not asking too much of Him, I don't think. Just know I will be praying non stop for Zoe and for you.

Praying for Zoe that you will get a quick visit and some good answers. I am praying also that the doctors are willing to do all that is needed for Zoe.

May God in His mercy convict all those who will be a part of Zoe's medical care, grant courage, confidence, strength and peace to them and you all. You are so...in my heart...
