What a LONG morning!!! Owen was up at 5, at the hospital by 9 and in the cath lab by noon. He was his happy self all morning long and doesn't mind an empty tummy. They're going to balloon open the Glenn narrowing first. Then they are going to try to coil off the large collateral. He's been in the cath lab for about 3 hours now and they're not even close to finishing.
I wish these procedures got easier... BUT... they just get harder! It's so difficult to watch him on the cath table crying as the anesthesiologist uses the happy gas on him. NOT HAPPY GAS!! Then he goes limp. We know he's in good hands and thanks to Grandpa Todd for the blessing this morning.
This is Owen's 4th cath in the last 12 months. Every one has a different story and we always get bad news. We're praying that this one goes smoothly and that he recovers quickly. We'll be in ICU for a few days while Owen gets his IVIG treatments. I have my laptop so I will keep things updated and upload some pics later today.
Thanks for the prayers... keep them coming!

I wish we were in the same ICU. We could go do lunch!
I hope Owen's treatments go well and that you start getting good news. You deserve it. We are thinking about you and keeping you in our prayers.
Ugh! I'm sorry that it's that time again. Many prayers for you all. You are always on our minds & we hope for good news this time around. Good luck!
I'm hoping that by this time it's all over with and Owen is happily drugged up and sleeping! :)
