No repair on the ticker

Thursday: We will speak with the doctor/surgeon tomorrow.

2:30 am update: Casey is just now getting home. He's very disappointed that it's not fixed. He said he got sick after waking up from the anesthesia; that sounds typical. He will come over for Taco Salad tomorrow night.

9:19 pm update: *sad face* They aren't doing anything tonight to repair the heart. *big sigh* They need to do further testing ... as to rule out a couple other things before they go slicing off a piece of his heart. Great.

So, it sounds to me that he ended up having a routine heart cath tonight.

8:51 pm update: I am so anxious, I keep eating Cheeto's and honey baked ham.

I am worrying that the equipment will malfunction again while they are using it, or somthing will go wrong. I am of course, feeling guilty that I am not there... but I simply can't have Matthew at the hospital during RSV season and I can't leave him w/ anyone at night b/c of the overnight feeds. I am grateful that my sister is there. She used to work in cardiology so she knows the drill, and Casey loves her to death.

8:24 pm update: My sister just called, they just came back out to say they had tech support on the phone, they are working on getting it back up and they will try to proceed. Thank God Kim is there.


After spending two hours in the cath lab ...
the equipment malfunctioned ... the heat source wouldn't work.

They were unable to repair ~ he'll have to wait until the end of January.

I want to throw up.

He will be in recovery for 5 hours. I feel awful for him.
