Dear little Ibraheem from Tulkarem returned to Sheba with his dad this morning for a heart check up. Looking smart in his new forest green outfit, he was full of smiles and energy! While waiting for his echo, he raced around the waiting area, played with balloons, and cheerfully inspected all the other children.
Like many little ones, Ibraheem wasn’t a fan of lying still with cold gel on his chest and being prodded with the ultrasound tool. There were a few tears, but with Dad and me helping, the technician and doctor managed to get the images they needed. He also had his ECG, vital signs, and weight checked.
Praise the Lord, his doctor says he is clinically doing well and looks healthy. Blood flow through the conduit and into both pulmonary arteries is good, although his right ventricular function remains reduced. The doctor would like him to return in 2-3 months for catheterization and redilation of his pulmonary arteries.
Thank You, Lord, for this beautiful, smiley boy. Bless him with continued health, strength, and healing
