Rescheduled Cath

Owen and I both feel a little better today! Finally I feel like the worst is over. I talked to the cardiology team at Stanford today and we both agreed it would be best to reschedule Owen's cardiac catherization. Anesthesia thinks he will do okay, but we are more concerned about his pressures. If you remember, the only thing keeping him from the Fontan is his borderline high pressures. Respiratory illness can cause those pressures to increase and we want his pressures to be accurate. We decided, together, to wait at least four weeks before doing his cath.

  I love Stanford. They called me ten minutes later to reschedule. She gave me my choice of cath lab doctors, times and dates. My problem is that I have too many choices and I can't pick one. I told them I'd pick a date and get back to them tomorrow. Meanwhile.. I cancelled all of our February reservations today.

Owen's birthday is in two days!! I didn't plan a big party this year because we were trying to keep him 'healthy' for his cath. Major fail. He now says he wants a Batman party, chicken on the bone (drumsticks), and to play at the park! I might just have to throw something fun together last minute.

Kamryn is getting this gunk in her chest and so now we just need to enforce germ control so we don't pass it around again. I did take her in to get her braces tightened today and it's amazing how quickly her teeth are moving into place! Dr M. put a figure 8 rubber band on her two front teeth to close the gap and she is feeling the pain! :) Speaking of pain.. in the next few weeks, she has to go in and have FOUR more baby teeth pulled. That brings the total to 12 baby teeth pulled!!! They just didn't want to come out on their own.

I'm off to enjoy the last day and a half with my 3 year old.
