Yesterday we went to the Cardiac Spacialist and had an echo done, which took some time because Becca's heart has repositioned itself more on the left side since her left lung has been removed. It showed that her vsd is still tiny but that she has an aortic valve leak. They seemed concerned with Pulmonary hypertension which I was told that will occurr but they could not say "when". They said when that does occur it will back up blood into her right ventricle of her heart which there was no sign of yet. Her heart looks stable at this point. We go to see the Pulmonary Specialist next month so we will know more then. Hypertension will happen due to the fact that we are expecting her one lung to do the work of two lungs. Just another bump in the long winding road.
