Patrick received a call from the University of Washington on Sunday while we were at church. The woman he spoke with said he has been scheduled for March 6th, but she gave no other information. On Monday we called Dr. Shah's office to tell him how far out the appointment was scheduled for, and we have not heard back from him. Yesterday we called the University. We asked that the cardiologist's office call us with some more information because all we had was a date. Today I received a call from a nurse who works for the cardiologist who would be performing Patrick's ablasion procedure. She called because she had received our request, but unfortunately was in the process of receiving Patrick's records and didn't have a lot she could tell us. The appointment for March 6 is the meeting and initial evaluation with the doctor, Dr. Akoum. She said they would discuss Patrick's health, his records, and the time frame and procedure(s) Dr. Akoum would recommend based on Patrick's records and charts. Basically March 6 will be fly-down, fly-back. Nothing will be happening after that appointment because they schedule procedures so far out - two months, to be exact. Unless it is determined that Patrick is in dire need of this procedure and needs to be referred to a different provider who can get him in earlier, Patrick is looking at early May to get the ablasion procedure done. I've said this time and time again - I don't know how I feel about this. So now you all know what we know ❤️ which isn't much. But we understand these things take time. Until then we will be strong and courageous!
