Cath Pre Op

As I posted a little earlier.. we got a call this morning from the cath team at LPCH. They wanted to know if Owen could come in for his cath TODAY instead of Tomorrow. I was really glad he refused to eat any breakfast this morning.  We packed up and headed over to the hospital for admitting and pre op clinic. 

Owen had his echo, ekg and was a champ as always.  His weight is up to 34lbs again!!  After picking our a few stickers and toys, we were off to the surgery center with the cath team.

I filled out paperwork and Owen played with his new toys.  Then we went back for a change into the infamous surgical jammies.

Owen told every single nurse and anesthesiologist that he did NOT want the mask or an IV today!!  We told him we would start with some versed in his Gtube and that got him all kinds of excited!!

Then I pulled out his Hulk Smash gloves we bought him for the trip and he had such a great time beating everyone up!  Everyone loved his Hulk gloves and he was silly times 100 due to the Versed. 

When he couldn't hold his head up much longer, we headed over to the cath lab.  He layed on the table and was fine as they hooked him up to his leads, blood pressure cuffs and pulse ox.  He was almost asleep when he caught a glimpse of the anesthesia mask out the corner of his eye and that was it!  The doc was amazing and took the mask off and just used blow by with the happy gas and that seemed to work just fine!!  We left him about an hour ago sound asleep on the cath lab table.  He's in good hands.

We are praying for great results.  We will know more in a few hours and I will post again then.  Thank you for your support and prayers!
