Wow

Thank you all for the power prayers. They really came through. It was a miscommunication. One that I had no idea about! When I told Dr. Cooper his function was 34 % he thought I was referring to an ejection fraction, which is how right ventricles are usually measured. Dr. Kavanaugh measures a fractional area change. 34% is a reasonable number for that and his ejection fraction is 48% which is also reasonable.

We still aren't out of the woods, because we need to find out why he still has this oxygen requirement... but he is not in heart failure. Now I will probably be able to sleep tonight.
