Follow up on our heart patients

Being on the other side of the earth makes it sometimes hard to get info quickly!  With regard to the children that went to Pt Moresby a couple of weeks ago for heart caths I do know that the first 3 caths that were done went well!  The first procedure was done on a little guy named Caleb who had a Patent Ductus Arteriosus.  Everything went well!  Very exciting!!!
The next two patients were both in children who had Tetrology of Fallot, a more complicated heart defect. Both of these children have proven to be good candidates for open heart surgery in the US next year!  Again, extremely exciting!
Please continue to pray for all the children who went to Pt Moresby along with their families.  Thanks to Dr. Kirk's team and all those involved at Pacific International Hospital in Pt Moresby!

When I can get some pics, I'll add them above!
