Pas de problème (White snakes)

The CT scan showed nothing abnormal with Ford's heart. We didn't get to watch them perform the scan but the device itself looked pretty cool. I've never been in an MRI or CT room before. Afterwards, I was asking his nurse, who was there during the test, what it looked like. She thought about it for a minute and then said something like: Well, I'm not really sure, it looked cool, kind of like a bunch of white snakes moving through his body.

That got me hoping that perhaps this was the real problem behind all his complications, something that no one had noticed before because they just weren't really looking for white snakes. The cardiologist invited us later to look at the results and took the time to point out the things they were looking at/for, here is the shunt, here is the pulmonary artery, here is the coronary artery, nothing abnormal for a kid with his condition. It all made a certain amount of sense, but I was inclined to agree with the nurse. We've been searching for some alternative therapies for Ford, to help him with his recovery, and I'm thinking we ought to ask for a referral to a herpetologist, just in case.

Otherwise, he's been pretty stable for the last few days. We are, as always, hoping the weather holds.
