No fever since yesterday around 3pm. It's officially been 24 hours fever-free. Still wondering if other symptoms will show up, but so far so good. I promised if he woke up from his nap with no fever I'd take him swimming, so I really hope he does.
In other news, Ava finally has a top tooth. It cut through a couple of days ago, but you still can't really see it. Once it comes in a little bit I'll post a picture.
Drew
Drew is a happy 7-year-old who loves his family, his friends, and everything Star Wars! He was born with a CHD, specifically interrupted aortic arch, VSD, hypoplastic aortic root and DiGeorge Syndrome. He has had three open-heart surgeries, the most recent was in May 2008 at Stanford. He is so strong and brave and we are very proud of him.
Ava
Ava is a spirited 5-year-old girl. She loves her family, friends and climbing, jumping and dancing. She brings us a lot of joy and a lot of drama! She is heart healthy. We love to see all the adventures she has!
This is how Drew's heart is now!
One and a half ventricle repair 1) VSD closed with a patch 2) Conduit from right ventricle to pulmonary artery . Drew still has the SVC connected to the PA in the upper left. Thank you Dr. Hanley and Dr. Mainwaring!

Andrea... I'm so glad to hear the Drew seems to be on the mend. We'll pray that the worse of it is over and he gets a clean bill of health.
Amy
I checked your blog right before leaving work today, and am so happy Drew seems to have fought this one off! Loved the pictures of him saying, "cheese" for the camera in his shark jammies and Ava in her adorable sun suit!
Love, Mom
Fevers suck. I hate calling the advice line because they always, always want us to come in. Therefore, I hate calling. And I probably wait longer than I should because I already know what they will tell us: come in.
As for Ava, no top teeth?? What about bottom teeth? My boy (who turns 1 on Sunday) has 13 teeth!! Super chompers for a little guy.
Hi Andrea. I'm glad to hear Drew's fever is gone. I read your immunology post and when you have time could you email me and give a quick explanation of what questions to ask the doctor. I called to get Harrison's latest results and the nurse sounded like a complete idiot. She asked me what I wanted to know, and I wanted to know everything. Maybe you could tell me what I should be watching. I do know his numbers went up though.
Here is my email:tiffany.hartgraves@gmail.com
or you can go to my blog.
thanks,
tiffay
