The good news is that today is cookie day at RMH. The thought of those cookies actually buoyed my spirits as I walked back from the hospital after learning that Josiah needs another surgery. The cardiac catheterization went well. They were able to confirm that the only problem is the pressures. He is not able to get enough blood from his head to his lungs to get oxygenated so his sats are too low. When he arrived back from the cath lab his sats were in the 30s and it took the team an hour to get them up to 65.
There will be another meeting today or tomorrow to decide what surgery Josiah needs. It will be a shunt of some sort to get more blood to the lungs. They have said it will be very difficult to keep him balanced after the second surgery as blood will be going to the lungs from two places.
Thanks for your prayers!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
