Day 29

Most of you know that today was a long day for Liam! Heart cath at 7:00 and we did not see him again till 12:00. Thank you Jesus.... It was successful! They did a balloon angioplasty in his pulmonary vein ! His gradiant went from a 12 to a 3-4. An amazing doctor that is world renouned for her skills completed his angioplasty! Now keep in mind a pulmonary vein in a baby is so tiny measuring with his stenosis a millimeter in size! She was able to get a catheter inside the vein and balloon it! These physicians at U and M are amazing! I am so grateful for all of them! Since this procedure was a success their goal is to repeat an echo in a week to check the gradiant again. The angioplasty can last days, weeks or indefinite. It is something that will need to monitor since they can become stenotic again! If this is the case his surgeon will have to take him for another surgery! But we are only taking one day at a time! Today ended 100 times better then the way it started. Since his return from cath lab his vitals have been better. He continues to be weaned on vent! All because more blood supply is able to move easier to the lungs! He truly is our superhero!!!! Before he was sent away this morning his nurse let me sort of hold him by my hands. It meant everything to me since he is 29 days old and I have never held him in my arms! Of course I cried all over his blankets but my mom always says that tears are like prayers, so Liam left with a soaking wet blanket full of prayers. :) God is good!!! Thank you to all! Xoxo
