We are Home!!!

We are home and boy is Evan happy about that. The cath was successful, the cardio said that if they could have picked an outcome they would have picked the one we were given. The right pulmonary artery was 8mm and the left (the side that was narrowed) was only apprx. 3mm. They used a stent and made the left side almost 8mm. It took about 3.5 hrs. for them to complete the procedure. Evan did really well. When we first got there he didn't know where we were and asked if we were at a party, little did he know what the day held for him. After the cardio explained everything he did in the lab, he informed us that is was procedural for cath. patients who are admitted to stay in ICU. So, we spent one very long day in ICU, oh the memories. We were right next to the nurses station so all in all from about 12:30 yesterday afternoon until we left at noon today Evan slept 4 hrs. the rest of the time we spent trying to keep Evan still. He let everyone who came in the room know he did not want to be there. He begged for us to take him home and thanked the doctor for giving him walking papers! Thanks to all of you who prayed for Evan!!! Evan will be on baby asprin for blood thinning for 3 months and then was also put back on digoxin because of his leaky valve. All in all everything went really well and we are really, really glad to be home!
