Two weeks and two days old:
Sam gave us quite a scare today. Sue took him to the pediatrician's office for a well-baby visit (it's all relative, isn't it?). She examined Sam and said he needed to go to the ER because of suspected Congestive Heart Failure. (CHF). Blood/fluid is building up in the lungs due to lower pressure in that part of the system as a result of the VSD. I got the phone call from Sue at 1230 while at work-- didn't get many details, expecting a call in an hour or so. Four long hours later, Sue called back with more info-- that Sam had been given a shot of Lasix in his leg and would be coming home tonight. They went to Johns Hopkins ER.
