I realized I never did an update after Xyler's heart cath. He had it done on Dec. 20th and everything went well. They found the narrow area and were able to stretch it out with the balloon. The hope is that it will stay stretched out so that he will have a few more years before needing the pulmonary valve replaced. If it begins to narrow again they will go in with a cath again and try to stent the area.
Xyler had to spend the night in the hospital just for observation. He did have to lay down and keep his leg still for 4 hours after. He was a champ! He was awake but in a daze during this time. Scott and I took turns standing by him, holding his leg still. When the 4 hours was up and I let go of his leg he instantly moved around and sat up. He was ready to move. He was tired but wouldn't go to sleep because he wanted to see everything going on. That kid amazes me more and more all of the time.
I have some pics but for some reason I can't upload them right now. I will try later.
