Great news! Michael is making his way home. His left coronary artery is still dilated but his medical team will monitor this closely. Columbia Presbyterian has never had a an HLHS patient who contracted Kawasaki disease before having the Fontan procedure (the third surgery in the Norwood series). Because of this, they will push off Michael's next surgery for as long as possible, allowing time for his arteries to repair. They are all grateful that his left coronary artery was not severely damaged.

Because of the Kawasaki treatment, Michael will be unable to get immunizations for the next year. He's had all of his regular ones to date, so we'll just need to be extra careful of exposure to the flu.

The little guy is eager to get home to see Molly and baby Tommy. Here's to a quick recovery. Thanks to all for the love and support.
