Diagnosis - from John

Good Evening,

Long 2 days just wanted to get this out so you all can know where we are with Josh. All I can say is WOW info over load, so easiest way to let you all in, is check out the two web sites below and we will be back in Jax on Wednesday. He's been diagnosed with Eisenmenger's Syndrome.

Treatment for people with Eisenmenger's syndrome is aimed at controlling symptoms and preventing complications. Medication is the primary treatment option. Surgery to repair the defect once Eisenmenger's syndrome has developed is not possible. Heart and lung transplantation or lung transplant are options for some people with Eisenmenger's syndrome.

JOHN!
