Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to FIGHT

Heart cath

Libbi is done with her heart cath. It took them about 3 and a half hours, they told us 3 so that last half hour i was wiggin! Apparantly they did a full echo first is why it took so long... would've been nice to know :) Everything looks well and on track for the Glenn in 4 weeks. They put a coil on one of the arteries to stop the flow of blood in that artery. If i ever totally understand what they say, it will be amazing. I learn something new every day! Dr. Day did the cath and said after the echo he called Dr. Menon to make sure he wanted to go ahead with the cath because he felt everything looked good in the echo. Dr. Menon said yes, go ahead with the cath, he wanted it done so when they all meet the surgeons could have ALL the info. Then we asked about camping this weekend, Dr. Day said no, keep her home, he's afraid her o2 sats would get to low in the high elevation, and he was worried her wounds from the cath might get dirty and infected. Dr. Menon says 'O no she's just fine, go ahead and take her, just don't let her legs get dirty' Hmmm. Ok. Maybe we shouldn't have asked and just done what we 'feel' is best. I really wish they could be on the same page once in a while :) But i'm not complaining, i'm glad to have every angle covered, it just makes it hard to make decisions. Got here at 8, we'll be leaving by 5:30... we hope :)

Glad it all went well. Hey i have something for libbi the thing i got for her when she was born kinda won't fit her anymore:)so i have something new now i beteer get it to you before she out grows this one.

This is Paul Cardell's CHD video. (I put it at the bottom of the blog, it fits best there..) It is shocking how many people, young and old are dealing with the same type of things we are. Take 9 minutes and watch, these are some of the cutest babies i've seen!! Libbi is about 6 and a half minutes into the video. (make sure you scroll down and pause my music playlist so you can hear his music, he is a pianist, it is very pretty!)
