Josiah is scheduled to have his cardiac catheterization tomorrow morning. He wasn't able to get in today. He's number two on the list but I'll need to be at the hospital around 8:00 AM in case the first patient is cancelled. In addition to the potential for having a stroke, there are various other risks that the doctor reviewed before I signed the consent form. Thank you for your prayers regarding this procedure. It's so amazing to me that they can actually put a catheter into his atrium and then through his main valve and even up to his pulmonary artery! Incredible! The main thing they will be doing is measuring pressures at different places in the heart.
Okay, it's time for lunch. Josiah has been pretty good this morning although a little grumpy at times as he didn't feed between 3:30 AM and 12:00 PM. He gets that from his mother.
Blessings,
Elizabeth
