After 8 hours at the hospital, we are happy to be back at the hotel relaxing. Owen wasn't in the cath lab more than an hour. Dr Peng (the cath lab cardio) had only good news to deliver. Owen's coronary arteries look beautiful! His right ventricle pressures were pretty perfect at 6. His left ventricle pressures were around 10, which is only slightly elevated, but great considering all his heart has been through recently. They took several samples of his heart for biopsy and we will have those results in the morning. We have an appointment in the morning with our team and Dr Rosenthal. We have a lot to discuss, but overall I am thrilled with the results from today. He hasn't fully recovered and there is still things that could be better, but it's pretty amazing how strong this little heart is!!
It was a long four hour recovery in post op. Owen was the perfect patient and only a little demanding. He ate peanuts and waited for discharge. Auntie Jaanesa rode the CalTrain down from the city to come hang out at the hospital with us. It was fun to have someone to chat with and Owen won't admit it, but he really wanted smooched on.
We had fish tacos for Dinner with Janesa and then dropped her off at the train station. Owen didn't know about the double decker CalTrain until today so we'll have to work that in to our next visit. We were already in downtown Menlo Park so we stopped at Cheeky Monkey and he picked out a small Lego Set. We are back at the hotel, treating ourselves to Sprinkles cupcakes and building Legos. Tomorrow a busy day in Clinic, biopsy results and then we will fly home to Phoenix. I am pretty certain we will sleep well tonight.
Back on the home front....
I'm missing these two and Daddy too. We face time using Google Hangout, but we can't wait to get home. I'll update more tomorrow.
