March 17, 2009..Waiting

Just a quick update as I know many of you are anxious to hear what is going on.

Last week, the doctors catheterized Jevesh's heart, checked pressures and took samples to evaluate oxygen levels in the heart tissue. After evaluating the results, the doctors decided that Jevesh needed to be scheduled for surgery as soon as possible.

Initially, the doctor's tentatively scheduled Jevesh for surgery on Saturday, however there was no operating room available. Sunday an emergency with another child arose and Jevesh's doctor was needed for that surgery so they have again postoned the surgery.

Currently we are in a holding pattern. Waiting...each day, adjusting feeds in preparation for the surgery in case they are able to get him in to an operating room.

Jevesh is stable and doing well. He is often smiling with a twinkle in his eye. Unfortunately, he has lost some weight, so Deepika is making sure that Jevesh is getting a fortified feed to increase his calories so that he can regain his weight and strength.

I promise I will post another blog entry if and when things change.

Please continue to send your kind thoughts and prayers to Deepika and Jevesh. As always, please feel free to post your well wishes to the blog, as Deepika does view the comments.
