Chapter 30: Oh the Places We Will Go: Cath Lab Edition #3

Alex tolerated the procedure very well today. He was the first case so we were up very early and at the hospital by 6am.

They placed the ear tubes first which went well. He has to continue ear drops for a few days but otherwise hopefully his ears will no longer be an issue.

The cath went well. His left pulmonary artery, while still very small compared to the right, has grown some. Dr. Rome was able to dilate the left pulmonary artery and clear out some tissue that grew within the stents. Everything else looked stable. He is staying overnight to monitor and then we have a repeat lung perfusion scan in the morning to look at blood flow to the lungs.

Thankfully they kept him somewhat sedated after the procedures which lasted almost 2 hours. So, Mommy only had to hold him flat for 2 hours. He hasn't really slept much since so hopefully he will sleep some good stretches tonight. He was starving afterward and drank 14oz of Pedialyte and has eaten a ton of snacks!

Thank you for all of the thoughts and prayers. We appreciate each and every one of them.

Enjoy some pictures from today.

Love,
Bobby, Erica, Ben and Alex
