Aubrie Starr to Get Right Heart Catheter September 1st

Aubrie is scheduled to be in Levine's Children's Hospital, Charlotte, North Carolina, September 1st.

She will be sedated and receive a right heart catheter.

Because of the risks she faces having pulmonary hypertension and using anesthesia she will be accompanied by two cardiology anesthesiologists.

We do not know yet if she will be admitted to Levines or released the same day that will be determined during and after her procedure.

Please keep her in your prayers leading up to this day. Pray God will give us clear results. That we will get clarification we need about the true conditions of her lungs.

With every PH child a RHC is dangerous; please pray for her safety and God be with each Dr, nurse and staff member involved in her care.

Thank you all for your prayers, help and support thus far!

Please put a picture of Aubrie somewhere where you will see it and pray for her each time you do.

Hope PHor Aubrie Starr Update 23 July 2015

Aubrie saw her cardiologist today.

She will be having another right heart catheter before the end of August. After talking with the doctor I have decided that the catheter lab physicians will not be putting a pin hole in Aubries left atrium; I am not comfortable with the risks. This is a procedure she may receive in the future but I told them not now, not yet, not until I feel it really is something that would benefit her more than put her at risk for more complications.

We are still waiting to get physical therapy setup as well as speech therapy. I am hoping these will move along quickly and be started soon.

Aubrie will be due for a follow up appt in Cinncinati before the end of the year. We have began raising funds to help us travel and cover medical expenses and lost wages. Anything will help. 

Thank you all for your continued support and prayers.
