A lil' procedure

We took Elijah in today for a check-up and his oxygen sats were pretty low (high 60s) so we need to bring him back in tomorrow morning for a catheterization procedure. They will go in through a vein in his leg and up to his heart to see how it is functioning. We really won't know specifics till that is done. The MAPCAS that he was diagnosed with (on top of the Tetralogy) is what may be causing issues right now. The surgeons here at Abbott don't do many of these MAPCAS surgeries because it is a very rare condition--they do only maybe 5 per year. Eli's cardiologist knows a surgeon at Stanford who specializes in this area and does many more of these surgeries. So depending on how things look, we may possibly need to travel to CA to get this first surgery done. BUt....again, we won't know till tomorrow. We will try to update then but our computer is not being very cooperative (I'm here typing in the Apple store now, hoping they can fix it for me).

Say some prayers! Thanks!

Oh and Elijah weighed 10 lb. 5 oz. today. Chunky man!
