An echo today, in the parking garage….

Yesterday at Sheba Hospital, Sami had his interventional catheterization.

Today his parents brought him from the underground parking garage, turned wartime hospital, to have an echocardiogram, so that the doctors can make an assessment of his current condition. Sami has a narrowed valve that restricts the blood flow and a narrowing in an artery that makes his heart work harder to pump the blood. Also today Sami has a bit of a fever, and the doctors found that his right leg is colder and has a weaker pulse.

After the echocardiogram, Sami was transported back to the temporary wartime pediatric cardiac ICU in the underground parking garage.

Pray for little Sami to be healed of his fever, and that his heart valve would allow more blood flow. Pray for the doctors to have wisdom, knowledge, and understanding on how to best treat Sami. At this point, they are planning another catheterization in the near future.
