Finally away from the Croup Group again

Last week Isaac woke up with croup on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; he went to the doctor on Wednesday and she took a look at him. She said it was possibly Para-influenza, however I believe it was just allergies. He finally got over the terrible cough from it. Today he finally went back to school, he said he enjoyed P.E. class. Isaac said they played "Steal the Flag" (I think it was a version of flag football). ANyway, I am out of time, I have to go pick up kids from school.

Isaac's Heart Diagnosis and More

Isaac was born with Hypoplastic Right Ventricle with Dextrocardia, Pulmonary Stenosis, and VSD. He also has a leaky Tricuspid valve with moderate leakage. He had a BT shunt 1-17-03, Bi-Directional Glenn removing BT shunt 7-7-03, and the Fontan 6-22-06.
He was also born with Hydrocephalus (no shunt or brain damage), and Unilateral hearing loss (which he outgrew and only has minor hearing loss now). He also was born missing the top portion of his left ear (the pinea) which he will have plastic surgery for in a couple of years. He also has a condition with his left eye called Exotropia which may require surgery. He only has 70% of an airway which causes frequent croup, due to drainage from post nasal drip. We still find new problems occasionally, however his Heart is the most serious of all of his issues.
