Further intervention needed

Montaser and his father arrived in Bethlehem bright and early this morning where we collected them for the drive to Sheba Medical Center. Montaser had an Echo appointment to meet this morning.

On having examined the Echo results, Montaser’s cardiologist determined that further intervention is needed to increase the circulation between his heart and lungs. The first step will be a CT angiogram under full anesthesia to map out his precise anatomy. We’re now awaiting an appointment.

Then doctors will decide whether catheterization or possibly surgery will be the best way forward. It was a pleasure to spend a full day with Montaser and his father, and we thank God for giving us such fine neighbors.
