Praise! The echocardiogram on Friday suggests that the blood pressure in my lungs has normalized. This will be verified at the right heart catheterization on November 25, and may mean I don't need to be hospitalized or go on IV drugs, which would mean I don't have to wean Elliott.
They'll draw blood for genetic testing on Tuesday, and also obtain blood samples from my parents. The results of the test will not be ready for a few months. The hope is that they can identify the gene that caused the cardiomyopathy so that my first-degree relatives can be screened.
I get my TB test results read this afternoon, and will also get a flu shot.
