New Info on Dizzy
The cardiologist came in just now and told us that Andrew needs to go into surgery within the next couple hours. It appears that there are more obstructions in his main arteries than initially thought. This basically makes all the pipes smaller, which increases blood pressure, which is causing his lungs to fill up because there is no where else for it to go. Even though the cath lab isn't ready, they are going to do a couple work-a-rounds, (the safety risks here are very minimal compared the necessity for his operation now) and go ahead with the shunt (which was planned) and also addressing the obstructed vessels. Please continue to pray for him and for us... but mostly him. Thanks.
