Today a NEW doctor came in and informed Tracy and her mom that she should not have been on the dopamine for more than 3 or 4 days. She has been on it for 2 weeks now! He also began to explore the option of open heart surgery again. The previous doctor had said that it was not an option because you can't bypass to non-vital heart tissue. The health of Tracy's heart (how much is not vital) was determined by a PET scan ( not the ideal test ). The ideal test for vitality would be a MRI. Tracy can't have an MRI because she has a tiny wire lodged in her chest that would make the MRI dangerous. The radiologist said that it would burn a hole in her chest if they put her in. The doctors are going to explore other options to test vitality of the heart and talk with her in the morning. They did re-test the vessels in her legs and neck today and said that they are workable for the open heart surgery! PRAISE GOD for this. We were told the vessel were not workable a week ago. Please pray that God would continue to rebuild Tracy's heart and prepare her for open heart surgery next week. We are praying in faith that this is what God has planned for her. We believe that God brought this Doctor in today and we are so thankful for the possibilities that lie ahead of us! Open heart surgery would be a much better option for Tracy as opposed to the BI-VAD!. Please continue to pray! God hears YOU!! With love to you all! Jodi
