Done!

Jackson is all done! Buddy had an awful time before the cath with a bad reaction to the Versed they gave to help him relax. He was delirious and inconsolable. We were grateful to see him fall asleep from the anesthesia. The cath showed that though there is narrowing (in the pulmonic artery) it wasn't as advanced as the echocardiograms had estimated. They did attempt to balloon it, but it didn't accomplish much. They were able to successfully balloon his previously stented area (the inominant artery) allowing for much better blood flow in that area. The plan is to continue to monitor with external testing and repeat the cath in 2-3 years if all continues to be stable. Thank you so much for every prayer! We haven't seen him yet but should soon. He'll spend the night on the cardiac floor. Our cardiologist from Columbia was here and so kind and attentive. So grateful for every mercy.
