Gonzalez's Heart

Jaden had his tests today and we have an answer to his pain but not a complete answer and not a solution at this point.

The MRI showed a few areas in the head where there was fluid. They also found that the spinal tap showed pressure. Normally a child Jaden's age would have about 12-15 cm of water in the spinal area and Jaden has 20 cm. The Dr. called what they found Increased Intracranial Pressure. The Cardiologists and the Neurologists will be meeting in the morning to determine the next plan. One route is to do his Heart Cath. which they would probably do Friday if they choose that route.

The Neurologists explained to us that Jaden will have some delays academically. He said he will be fine with his walking and functioning like that, we will just see it in school. We are fine with that because we know he is a very smart baby and he is here to prove everyone wrong so he will be just fine. I mean after all, he is a Krueger-Gonzalez mix. Who could be any smarter and determined then one with that blood in them!?

We will let you know what the plan is tomorrow. Off to bed.

Love, us

I'm so glad they were able to find the problem, and will pray that the solution will come quickly and not be too taxing on Jaden (or you!)

Prayers are lifted...

What a "super star" he has been and also your entire family. I totally agree with what Mattie and your Dad said, God will be at his side.

Take care of yourselves and know that you have soooooooo much support.
