Update on Nathan

Hello Everyone!

Well, at Nathans last visit Dr. Finnigan heard something in his lungs. I didnt mention it because I wasnt really too concerned. He went today to have Dr. Finnigan listen to them again. He heard the same thing. So, not good news. What does this mean? Well, not sure at this point. Dr. Finnigan seems to believe it could be the way his aortic arch is positioned next to his trachea. This would explain whay he tends to breath heavy when playing. At this time if this is the problem there is no cure. No medicine. No surgery. But sometimes kids grow out of it. We are going to wait and see if this is the case with Nathan. So please pray again! :-) He has a followup in July. If the sound is worse in his lungs we will do an MRI to see what exactly we are dealing with.

Hope everyone is well!

Laura
