The Treadway's

I talked to him this morning and he is feeling a bit better.  Some of the swelling is gone down now.  He received IV antibiotics during the night and that is helping tremendously.  The doctor read the ECHO last night before I left and said he didn’t see any mechanical malfunction of the valve but they didn’t get really good pictures because he has such a thick chest wall-they never have been able to get good photos even at UVA.   The cardiologist mentioned they may want to do a Trans Esophageal Echo- that is where they would go down the throat with the camera and get really really close up pictures.  So for right now that’s about all we know.  This started with an abscessed tooth.  Anytime he has any type of upper respiratory infection it can travel right to his heart.  So I guess we just sit and wait.
