DCM

Justin's condition has been diagnosed as pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy. The Drs. don't know what may have caused it as there are lots of probabilities and they've been honest and told us we may never find out.

They're running more tests to rule some things out and see if he has any other treatable problems. Justin is on antibiotics to help his body fight off the infection that brought us here in the first place, and several medications to help strengthen his heart. Please pray that his body can accept the medications well as the sooner he does, the sooner we can go home.

One of the side effects of the antibiotics is diarrhea, and Justin also has a cold so please keep those minor problems in your prayers as well. A good thing is that the issue with there being fluid in his lungs has cleared up nicely, PTL!
