Mitchell turned 6 on May 20th! Not sure where the time goes! We are very thankful for his progress; and for several years of a more "normal" life for him.
This next step doesn't come as a surprise, but can't say we're eager to get there.
As expected, Mitchell's oxygen saturation has declined with his growth. He now peaks around 81%. His diagnostic Pre-Fontan Heart Catheterization has been scheduled for Friday, August 7th, in Atlanta. His surgeon will review the Cath report & proceed with scheduling surgery. We anticipate a reasonable amount of recovery time from the Cath, with surgery potential as early as September.
For those interested, I will attach a link with a description of his diagnosis, as well as his upcoming surgery. http://www.choa.org/child-health-glossary/h/hy/hypoplastic-left-heart-syndrome
We appreciate the prayers and support of our friends and family.
Here are a few pictures from Mitchell's 2015 scar contest:
