Chapter 24: Oh the Places We Will Go: Cath Lab Edition #2

Alex tolerated the procedure well. The left pulmonary artery grew a little bit bigger since the placement of the stent in August. There was a small area of narrowing within the stent, so in order to resolve this the doctor decided to place another stent inside the original one. They will have to keep a close eye on the further growth of the left pulmonary artery. Post procedure, Alex struggled to lay flat for the 4 hours, as we expected. He has been very sleepy since getting out of the procedure this afternoon. Hopefully, he will be able to get a good nights sleep. He will have another lung perfusion scan in the morning to check the flow through the artery. Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers. We know each and every one helps Alex along his journey.

Love,

Bobby, Erica, Ben, and Alex
