Talked to my cousin tonight
I finally got to talk to my Cousin tonight about his new son. He was able to explain things much better. Sadly I was nursing Keira and unable to write it all down, but I do understand more. Let's see what I can remember and decipher to word.
Jamison has two holes in his heart. One on the bottom half and one on the top half. He spoke of valves and ventricles and this is where I had wished I could write it down. The one on top is a bridge type hole and should be able to be repaired with meds. The one on the bottom is bigger and needs to be repaired with surgery. So once he is more stable, he will need surgery.
He had his vision test today. Everything seemed on the up and up. He is not blind. He does have an issue that might need to be fixed with a patch, but they will run another test on Friday. His hearing test is not until next week.
As for the swallowing. He has the ability to swallow, but because of the recessed chin, he can not do it himself at this time.
So on one hand this is bad. I mean, I can't even imagine the thought of any of my girls needing heart surgery. But on the other hand, in comparison to everything else that could have been wrong, it is not as bad as I had been trying to prepare for. I wish it was better. I pray for it to be better. But I am thankful it is not worse.
