Good news from the Doc!
We went to Emory today with Gage...the Pulmonologist said everything looks great. He explained more in detail about what happened to Gage's lungs prior to surgery due to the CDH and told us how GLAD he was that Gage didn't need ECMO! The bottom line for now is as long as Gage keeps eating good and gaining weight (13 lbs 6 oz) they aren't worried. We will have a follow up visit this summer and in the meantime he is going to be in touch with CHOP to get more details about Gage's specific case and how big his hernia was and so forth. If all looks good there we won't need any more X-rays or anything like that any time soon. Once Gage is about 5 years old he will start doing Lung Function Tests...but for now...he just has to continue to get fat and happy like the rest of us! We are SO thankful for a good report! Thank you for praying and continuing to follow along on our journey!

ReplyDeleteLauren - So glad to see that Gage is doing so well. But what should we expect? He has been covered in prayer so we should have known everything is going to be great!!! He is so cute. I still can't wait to hold him. He's growing so fast!! We continue to think of you and pray for Gage. Take care! Andrea Usry
