Back for More!

Ellie's heart cath went well. They stuck a tube in through a blood vessel in her leg and then went up to her heart. The doctor injected dye in different places to look at blood flow and lung resistence. Everything looked good and they would've sent her home, but her oxygen levels were at 66% on room air. Next thing we knew, we were back in the children's surgical unit. The nurses informed us yesterday afternoon that her surgery had been scheduled for this morning at 7:30. So, here I am in the PICU listening to the all too familiar beeps, cries, and voices. The surgery was uneventful. We're hoping she'll stablilize soon so we can take her off the ventilator tonight. I'll update later.
