After the stent procedure, we found out that the ventricle pressures still read high. So, on Saturday the doctors ran some more tests, including another echo.

This echo revealed that Grair’s outflow pressure (the pressure of blood flow coming out of the pulmonary valve to the lung) was indeed high, but not dangerously high. Again, this is now likely a outcome of the pulmonary valve conduit starting to become too small for Grair.

The good news is that we are not in an emergency. In fact, we were sent home on Saturday! It was great to get everyone back home. Grair is back to acting his normal. We’ve already caught him jumping off the couches a few times. The most difficult part is getting him to slow down!

As for his next procedure, we don’t know if it’s 1 month out or 1 year out. As our doctors continue to remind us, there is no “crystal ball” in medicine. So we wait. We’ll meet with Grair’s cardiologist monthly and evaluate the trend.

Thanks for all the support and well wishes. As we learn more about Grair and his medical future, we’ll post here (sign up for the email updates if you haven’t).
