Saturday night's alright (for fighting)

Hello. Steve & I are up here with Andrew. He looks good today. We both had a good time playing with him this morning before he fell asleep. He had another echocardiogram the day before yesterday & we got the results last evening. They are concerned there may be obstruction at the shunt & pulmonary veins / arteries. This was a real bummer. On Monday they will discuss doing another cardio cath to determine if there is in fact any obstruction and to what extent. Obstruction could be caused by scar tissue building up or it could be that the vessels are simply not growing with the rest of him. It is possible to do some 'correction' during the cardio cath with the shunt or arteries, but the veins are more delicate & are usually worked on in surgery. I know you will all keep this in your prayers & we appreciate that immensly. If they decide to go ahead with the cath it will probably be early in the week. This will also put off the G-I surgery since that isn't an urgent issue & Andrerw is tolerating his feeds through the n-j feeding tube well. He is up to 3.8 kg - whoo-hoo! We will try to get some video up for you all a little later.
