Trey had his first appointments today at the University of Michigan Children's Hospital. His chest x-ray, EKG, and echocardiogram all showed what the surgeon had told us last week. We spoke to two additional doctors today and they both agreed that what Trey has is an anomaly of the left coranary artery comming off of the pulminary artery(ALCAPA.) This was a birth defect and Trey's left coronary artery is attached to the wrong part of his heart which in turn does not bring enough oxygenated blood to his heart and would eventually cause a heart attack. Fortunatly Trey's heart is still very strong and healthy because the right coronary artery has overcompensated for the left side. The heart cath tomorrow will show the surgeon which of the two options to correct this ALCAPA will work best for Trey.

We will update again tomorrow. Please continue to keep Trey in your prayers.
