Holly's Heart Cath yesterday!

[Xplantdad]

I just want to let everyone know that yesterday Holly had her once a year heart cath and biopsy to check for rejection and to check for coronary artery disease among other things...

I am happy to report that all is well. The cardiologist is amazed at how healthy her heart is!

She is recovering at home today...and should be up and about by tomorrow!

We'll know the results of the tissue/heart muscle biopsy by later next week...hopefully!

Very cool! Thanks for the update Bruce. Tell her we said hi. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/HollyRocks.gif

[DarrenX33]

Right on! Now how is Bruce doing??? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[SS427]

That is great news Bruce and Lynn (and Holly!). That is a very dangerous procedure and I am glad there were no complications. That kid has done more for me as far our attitudes towards life than she will ever know. Proud to call her our stepchild! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Lookout young men, Holly will likely be moving towards the next phase of her life! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Bruce,

Your daughter must feel like the most incredible blessing in the world to you. That's great news. I'm sure you have covered it before, but, how long will the yearly cath prodeure be required? Will there come a time that won't be necessary?

Take care,

Mark

I hope you and the family HAVE many more results like that. And have a great holiday to boot! Benny http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/HollyRocks.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/BruceRocks.gif

Thanks again everyone...Holly will be on in a bit.

Mark, as far as when these yearly heart caths may become unnecessary...that will depend on technology, data capture or both of these combined with other stuff (I know I am not making sense).

They are doing them once a year because the transplant center that she was transplanted at discovered that there were some cases of coronary artery disease showing up in some of the kids at an early age...and it was severe enough that it killed some of them.Before that was discovered, we had heart caths every other year.

On the other hand, they are comparing results from the "every three months" ultrasounds/xrays/check ups against the findings of the heart caths to see if there are any correlations or discrepancies.

They also have some non-invasive testing (in experimental stages) waiting in the wings as well (kind of like an ultrasound).

So at this point, we do what is asked...and hope for the best!

Also, I need to say something... all of http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/youguysrock.gif (gals, too!)

[Bill Rose]

I'm sure it's a bit nerve racking for Holly, to have that test every year. I have to get a kidney exam every 6 months, and I never look forward to it. I know it's a huge burden off your shoulders, to have a clean bill of health, after such an important "check-up" ... The doctors and staff are amazing. I sure hope this type of care continues.

[Postsedan]

Thanks for the wonderful news.

Dan.

Bruce,
I haven't had the privilege of meeting Holly yet, but I've seen so many photos of her and read so much about her (and was honored to donate a few things for the SYC Reunion auctions), that I feel I do know her. Children are the most precious things we have in life. It's so great that she's doing so well. Someday you'll become a grandfather, and I don't think that will bother you at all!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
