Cardiologist says we are almost effusion free

Today, Olivia went to her new cardiologist in Baton Rouge. He was so nice, a little country, but super kind and very understanding. He did a chest xray and said we are almost completely effusion free. After answering some of our crazy parent questions, he sent us for lab work and scheduled a follow-up in two weeks. We will then be six weeks out from surgery and able to start to wean off some diuretics. Very exciting!!!!! We also scheduled her appointment to see Dr. Shourbaji to get back to normal stuff like immunizations. We are looking forward to this busy weekend of nathans first communion and her baptism.
