cath results

Thanks for praying! All went well today with the cath. Brooklyn has been resting fairly well. Pretty fussy when she wakes, but thankfully most of the afternoon and evening has been full of good rest for her. Finally started half feeds around 5:00. 

Results of the cath... Pressures in her heart and lungs were good. Shunt looks good. No more narrowing. Some narrowing though in her left pulmonary artery (LPA) causing less blood flow/oxygen to the left lung than the right. May result in a stint being placed in the LPA when they do the Glenn (her next open heart on 3/25). Docs will discuss everything together tomorrow morning at "conference." Brooklyn and I are staying overnight in cardiac step-down for observation just as a precaution. Hoping for good rest for me and for Brooke tonight as I will be trying to sleep in her room. 

Oh, and while Brooke was in the cath lab, John, Ab and I had the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful, warm, sunny afternoon from our favorite spot in the hospital--the rooftop garden. Ab even got to learn some cool stuff about predator birds. Once again, we're blown away by this place. 

Update from the Facebook page at 11:30 a.m...
Consults with docs are done. Chest x-Ray is done. Took a little snooze a bit ago. Now snoozing in Daddy's arms. Waiting for them to come and take her back for the cath. She will be in from about 11:30-2:30. Please pray for guidance and clarity for docs and staff, for no bleeding or clotting and just overall protection over Brooke. Thank you so much!
