Echo results
Sorry I didn't post sooner, we got the echo results Monday but I didn't talk to the doctors about their plans until yesterday. On Bridger's echo from Monday it showed that the medicine he was started on last week did not make any improvement in his lung pressures. So yesterday when I spoke with two of the cardiologists, they thought it was best to try one or two more oral meds to see if anything changes, and if not then we will try an IV medication to see if that helps. The downside to the IV med is that it can relax the lungs enough that they are not able to protect themselves from taking on fluid, so that would have to be monitored very closely. On Friday I will take Bridger back up for some more blood tests and probably next week he will start a different medication to help his lungs and heart.

I hope the new oral meds will help. We think about you all the time. We would love to come see Bridger soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I hope it works. I like the new picture of Bridger at the top of the blog. So cute! Tre is still praying every night (when he remembers) and no one has taken off our 'Bridger's Heart Heroes' bracelets. We are pulling for that little guy (from a distance). Know that we love you and miss you guys SO much.
Dear Staci,
Bridger is a miracle baby. He has beat so many odds. I am sure he will come out on top again. Thanks for the postings. He is such a beautiful baby.
Love, grandma
It's disappointing that the medication hasn't worked. I hope the next round of meds do the trick without causing any complications.
