Lung Biopsy
Not a lot of new news on little Gus at this time. We are still going through the homestudy process. Our caseworker, Belinda is fantastic and has helped us through so much already. We will meet with her again on Friday for more homestudy stuff. We did get a short medical report on Gus' lung biopsy. It didn't have a lot of information but is says that he has Interestital Lung Disease. I am not fully sure what that means. After researching it online I am still somewhat confused. It can be caused from several different things my guess is that Gus has this as a result of the pulmonary hypertension/heart defect. It has different severities and the report did not specify how severe Gus' case is. It can go as far as having scarring in the lungs. This is not something that can be cured but it can be helped with medication. Right now he is on a steroid to help. Maybe the steroid will help our little guy grow too. I am hoping to still get some more in depth information but I am not sure if that will happen. Please continue to pray that he stays healthy, grows, and that Bethany and South Korea will have a clear sense of what is best for him. Thanks for your prayers!
