Another Good Biopsy

This week we headed to Dallas for a biopsy on Tuesday.  Yesterday we received the results that Ry scored a zero!  This is once again great news.  Her echo, EKG, and Xray all looked great and the heart cath showed little to no improvement to her wedge pressures.  They are hanging out right around 15-16.  We hope to see this trend down soon, but for now we are thankful for the good report and are enjoying our crazy little girl.
She once again did great during her day at the hospital.  We had an early start, arriving at 6:15.  I'm always so proud of her.  This time we did not have to hang around 4 full hours in recovery so we were able to leave just after noon.  We stopped for a quick bite and then Ry slept the WHOLE way home.  We talked with our doctors and although we have hit our 3 month mark, there is little change to her medications at this time.  We hope to see things taper off at 6 months.  However, because she is doing so well, we are able to try to begin our resumption of a normal life.  This being said, we are amidst the worst time of year to rip off her mask and start to be around others.  But baby steps.  We will continue to use lots of precautions and stay in a lot, but it's great to know we're heading towards normalcy.
Thanks for checking in on us!

So glad things are going well. The Children's FB page said that they were working on a sequel to their tv series. Have camera crews been by again for follow-up visit?
