WOW!!!
Since the beginning of the week, Evynn has been feeling better. Her cardiologist is still unsure why she had declined so much, but assumes it was a combination of a virus and CHF. Evynn had a sedated echo on Thursday to investigate whether her heart was getting worse. The previous sedated echo (a few months ago) showed that Evynn's tricuspid valve was 'severely' leaking and was to blame for needed a transplant.
The echo reported her leak is now only 'mild' and for now doctors are considering whether Evynn will even need a transplant! She may instead be headed for the original 3rd stage surgery. Still a very uncertain journey, but incredible news for now.

Evynn's Update
Evynn is staying at SickKids until the doctors can rule out a cold virus, bacterial infection (like last time) or if her body is no longer tolerating the medications and they need to be adjusted. They are keeping Evynn on continuous feeds to keep small amounts of milk in her stomach at all times to see if this will help stop the vomiting. She has lost a little weight but is still generally her happy self, as long as she's safe in Mom's arms.

April Showers bring... Evynn back to Sick Kids
Evynn and Mom are back at Sick Kid due to an unexplained fever and increased CHF (Congenital Heart Failure) symptoms. She is in good hands and doing okay for now but could use some prayers.
