14 weeks

Surprise!

Andrew just wanted to tell everyone that he's going to be a BIG brother.  We are very excited!  Due date is May 29th.  It was fun to surprise everyone on Thanksgiving, but it was a little tricky these past few weeks hiding my belly.  For the first time I was really hoping that people would just think I was getting fat : )

13 week belly (plus Thanksgiving dinner : )

Home again!

We are all happy to be home. Andrew is his happy self already & we're all ready for a good night's sleep (though Mommy & Daddy's chances aren't great with Dizzy in the middle). Also pictured is Andrew's new lion - we are still thinking of a name for him.

Waiting to go Home

Andrew has been in recovery since just before noon. They are keeping him asleep because he has to hold still to prevent more bleeding from the sites where they went in. He woke up about an hour into recovery & jerked his leg (& pulled out his breathing tube) which made his leg start bleeding again. So, we had to restart the 6 hour clock again - now hoping to be discharged at 7pm. I've just been back here with him for about 30 minutes now.
The cath went beautifully. They got a good look around and all his numbers looked good; his heart function is great. They didn't see anything to intervene on while they were in there. Basically, best case scenario for now. He's doing too well to consider surgery any time soon. He'll have to let us know when his body needs it.
We are so overwhelmed with thanksgiving for Andrew and how well he is doing. Glory to God for the miracle this boy is!

Cath going well

They've been updating us about every hour and Andrew has been doing very well. Don't think it will be much longer.

Heart Cath underway

Andrew went back to the cath lab around 9am. We are expecting it will be around 2 hours. He did so great this morning. Possible the most cheerful pre-op patient ever. The pic below is just a taste of our morning experience : ) We'll update again when we get updates from them.
