Sarah had her surgery a few weeks ago and everything went well. Dr. Aziz and the team were able to place the defibrillator in a pocket they made in her skin above her heart. Then they put her heart into a fast rhythm and the defibrillator worked by shocking her heart back to a normal rhythm. Thank goodness she was asleep for all of that! She goes back in a few weeks just for them to check the device. This device also paces her heart at night so it will not go below 40 beats a minute anymore.
Jacob had his cath done too. He came back with a ZERO rejection! Dr. Boyle was very pleased as were we :) They also have him down to just 6 different medications a day. Eventually he should only be on 3. Jacob goes back for a full cath on July 21st, 4 days before his 1 year anniversary with his new heart. :)
Colleen called to let us know that the donor's family wrote a letter to us! We are anxiously waiting for the letter to arrive, we will finally know who gave Jacob their heart!
