Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for Teresa today . The news is very optimistic. Her heart Cath. results showed improvement in the vasculature of her lungs and her heart function has improved ! We are very happy with these results.
Even though this is Fantastic news ( her lungs are moving in the right direction) she is not to the point of being able to receive a heart transplant ...yet. Dr. H feels Single Ventricle Palliation (A Glenn or Fontan procedure) will not ever be an option for her . He thinks if her lungs continue to show improvement over the next 6-9 months she will then be at the point of being able to survive just a heart transplant. In 9 months she will have another cath. to see if her lungs have improved further or if she has plateaued. For now her meds.will be tweaked a little and she will be watched closely .
We are very hopeful but for now we have to let it be and be patient as God continues to slowly heal her lungs. A year ago we were told her lungs were irreversibly damaged and she most likely would never get to the point of just a heart transplant. Only by God ...

It is so amazing to see the miracle of Theresa's heart and lungs unfolding right before my eyes. Thank you for sharing your family's story!
I am happy to hear about this progress. Her color in her lips looks better in the photo too. We'll continue to pray for her. My son is praying too (he is 3.5 yrs old, also adopted from China.)

Great, great news!!! Now there has to be patience... I hope you will get several months of just enjoying life, with not so many worries, before Teresa can be given some curing treatment. I wanted to give you a link to something you might like, I couldn't help thinking about your family when I saw it:
