the network let me on this time

Athan's procedure went well. He is still asleep, and looks like he's enjoying the rest!

We just spoke to Dr. Vandicar, who did the catheter on our boy. He said that everything went smoothly, no complications. He checked the pressures in the pulmonary arteries, which has been the main area of concern. "Resistance" is higher than it should be with just and ASD/VSD, but not so high that treatment/surgery needs to be immediate - elevated, but not critical. Dr. K will look at the data, and the cardio team will discuss in in their next meeting (probably next Monday afternoon).

I'll try to post again when he wakes up, and we'll try to get pictures up later this afternoon.

So glad to hear that he did so well. You have a fighter on your hands. It's neat to already see some of the gifts that the Lord has given your little guy. He is strong and will persevere through anything. Guaranteed!

Love you guys,

We have been praying for you all! I can't believe that Dr. Vandicar did the surgery, he comes to our church. I have worked the nursery with his wife.

Praise the Lord, things are going well. We will be praying for sleep and rest.
