A little clarification, for the better......

Dr. Kouretas (Bridger's surgeon and life saver) talked with me today. I asked him for his honest opinion and gut feeling about Bridger. He said he feels that this is not a heart failure issue, that it is more a pulmonary hypertension issue that is causing stress on his heart. The good news is that the pulmonary hypertension is reactive (responds to certain medications). So hopefully if we leave the IV heart medication running for a while and tweak the pulmonary meds we can give his heart a little rest while his lungs strengthen. If this happens, .aybe his heart won't get stressed so easily. As for the plan right now, we will just give Bridger some time for his body to try and recover from all that it has been through.
