Welcome into our little world of Wilson's! We thought it might be a good idea to get on the blog-bandwagon so we can keep you all up to date on our lives. If you are just catching up on us... We do have bunches of Wilsons: Connor (7), Blake (5), Morgan (3) and Luke (8 months). We live in Plant City, FL (the strawberry capital of the world!), where Randy serves as FBC's Student Pastor. We have lived here for over 5 years and love FLORIDA!! Some of our favorite things familiar to the Florida lifestyle: day trips to Disney and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, fresh produce all year round, and most of all: scuba diving!
On another note... Some unexpected events have crept up on us these past few weeks. The term, "cardiomyopathy" has recently entered into our family vocabulary. Not a word I have enjoyed familiarizing myself with. But alas, here we are... A few weeks ago, we were sent to a pediatric cardiologist to determine that the murmur Luke was born with, is innocent. Which, it is. However, during the echocardiogram that day it was discovered that he does have a cardiomyopathy. The posterior wall of his left ventricle is enlarged (the size of a teen/adult), with no other signs or symptoms. Normal EKG, normal blood pressure, etc. Due to the results, they wanted to run echo's on the other kids to see if it runs in the family. Turns out that it does... The doctor performed an echocardiogram on Connor which revealed a cardiomyopathy identical to Luke's. (today Randy and I had echo's done- results pending. Next week echo's will be performed on Blake and Morgan to make the same determination).Other tests have been ordered to determine what it is we are dealing with. We are scheduled to meet with a specialist on Fri. to see where we need to go from here... we will keep you updated.
Thank you to all who have been praying for us! We trust the Lord completely. He knows us better than we know ourselves and is already preparing us for this journey.
We will update you soon!
Praying!! Hope everybody comes out all clear and Luke and Connor's continue to function normally, with no issues!!
ReplyDeleteHow very fortunate that you were to find out these things before something bad happened. I pray that future tests are normal and that a solution/treatment will be worked out. We send
