Praise: Jonathan's Heart is Okay

Jonathan's Echocardiogram today was good. His heart is in great condition currently. This is a huge thank you and praise! Jonathan's heart was what we were most concerned about. He has an appointment to see a geneticist in January (the earliest) and that will help to enable a final diagnosis. In the meantime, we will play it on the safe side and treat him as though he does haver Marfan Syndrome and monitor his activity in particular. Fortunately, Jonathan never was much interested in sports (in spite of the fact that we all thought he should play basketball!).

He does have a profound love of and talent for carpentry. We are hoping that that type of activity won't be prohibited. We will meet with his doctor on Monday (I am going with my sister-in-law) to get some basic guidelines and any information the doctor can share and whatever permissions we will need to keep him from contact sports and weight lifting during P.E.

We are so grateful that we have discovered this now before any damage has occurred, so we can keep on top of it. Again, thanks for all of your prayers and concerns. God bless!
