Heart cath updates

Noon- Thanks be to God! Everything went good! There were no repairs that needed to be made. His anatomy remains the same, so while he has odd coronary arteries it’s working for him. One of the early surgeries the fixed a valve and it doesn’t seem to be narrowing, however during Fontan there may be somethings done on this area. The only other thing we learned was his femeral artery in his right leg is destroyed, most likely from his first heart cath at 24 he’s old. There still is plenty of blood flow to his leg. Mike is currently with him, and they think he should go home tonight. Thank you thank you for the prayers. They will present the findings to Dr. Danford but think he is s candidate for the fontan!!

11:00 they just called to say there were done! Waiting for dr Delaney to come talk to us

10:57 no current update

9:08 Blaise has been taken back for surgery. He got his versed, and after throwing a small fit about taking it, got it done. It started to kick in, and the only one with tears at the surgery door was mom!


we are checked in. Blaise is pretty anxious and nervous. I think the whole hospital could hear him screaming during his blood draw. Dr Delaney has been in, and it sounds more likely that they will keep him over night. Also sounds like they will access him in two spots both the neck and groin, and likely they will have to perform some repairs while in there. The surgery is currently pushed back an hour as his blood has an antibody in it and they are looking for a match.
