Echo results

Vaeh had her second echo since her surgery today. They did it with & without the O2, checking the pulmonary artery pressures. There was a slight difference in the pressures, with them being a little lower when she's on the O2. So it looks like most likely we'll go home with the O2. I've been telling them all along that it wouldn't be a big deal since we're already set up for it anyway! What do mom's know, though!

They have her scheduled in the morning for a swallow study to see where we are compared to last year. Then tomorrow afternoon she is scheduled for an MRA (magnetic resonance arteriogram) of her pulmonary arteries. From what I understand they want a good look at the junction of her PA's with the conduit.

Once all of those tests are completed, it looks like we may get out of here sometime on Saturday possibly, but not set in stone yet! I'm sitll amazed that they are talking about sending her home just 9 days post-op! With her last open heart she wasn't even extubated yet! Whooohooo!! Its just another testament to how amazing these kids are!!
