Friday I saw a very tired Harold at work for a few moments when he stopped in to tie up some loose ends. He was in better spirits as they finally saw "The Wizard of Oz" AKA: the electro-cardiologist. They had been hearing about this guy since Will's diagnosis but he'd been so busy that he didn't lay eyes on Will until Friday morning. This was a very uplifting meeting for Harold and Kara. The doctor said that the reason they don't want to even consider doing the procedure to zap the second signal is primarily because, percentage wise, the majority of infants diagnosed - will grow out of it by their first birthday. (We're totally praying for this right now!!)
As of Friday afternoon, Will had been responding to the new dosage of medications and was holding steady. I woke up this morning to find this email from Harold:
We'll be able to celebrate Christmas at home! William has responded well to the increased dosage of medication, so we were released from Children's on Saturday afternoon. It's been great to pick him up without all of the wires attached to him, and we rested well last night without everyone coming in to check on him throughout the night.
Thank you very much for all of the thoughts and prayers - I know that's why William responded well to the meds and we were released in time for Christmas! We very much appreciate it...
Harold, Kara and William
Will's still not out of the woods and this isn't close to being 'figured' out yet, but we know that God is faithful and we'll continue to pray for their family and for the doctors, that they may keep a better grasp on how (much) to increase Will's meds and when!
