Trevor had his annual card appointment today. He was such a big boy! He now weighs 36lbs and is 40.5" tall! Overall everything looked good, not much change from last time. His right ventricle is getting a little bigger so he will need a valve replacement in the future. But we already new that. Dr. Portman said we had at least 3-4 years before surgery. I asked about valves via the cath lab, but he said he was not a candidate as he has a patch instead of a conduit where his valve used to be. He did say though, that they are currently doing a lot of research, so who knows what would be available by then. Although I know he needs to go through surgery again it is hard to hear. It could be longer than 3 years, but that just seems too soon.
