Day 3

Its been a big day here!! Busy day actually (hence the lack of blogs). The day started off with MY cardio appointment. For those who don't know, I had an ASD repaired about 15 months ago. And I conveniently had a follow up appointment scheduled for today. Its funny in hindsight... I scheduled this appointment 6 months ago. And 6 months ago, we were just considering a switch to special needs. We were just beginning to explore all the possibilities. We were just beginning to search our hearts for the right answer. And honestly, I never thought that we'd be here... and by "here", I mean open heart surgery. In my mind, we would have a "simple" ASD or VSD. I specifically wanted to avoid anything tetralogy of fallot. Such a complex heart condition was beyond our coping ability. Or so I thought.
But, here we are. And we are coping. And I've only freaked out twice in the last 48 hours. Shawna doesn't have tetralogy of fallot , but its darn close and possible more complicated than ToF beacause of the dexracardia. There is nothing "simple" about her condition. Nothing at all. But we are here. We are coping. Shawna is healing. And I can't imagine it any other way.
