Heart Cath update #2

Guess what....we're still here and we'll be staying another night :(

They increased his heparin dose this morning. The dose they started yesterday wasn't enough and he still barely has a pulse in his right foot. They want to watch him over night to make sure the heparin works.

He was off of oxygen for 30 minutes this morning with sats ranging from 75-79, which is pretty good for him. But then they fell to the low 70's. Now he's on .25 liter of O2.

So now the question is, why is he still dependent on O2 even after they opened up the narrowing in his aorta? Dr. Takao believes that he's outgrown his shunt. He weighed in at 13.4 yesterday! So, that means he'll have the Glenn sooner than later. We are scheduled to consult with Starnes on 7/9 to set the date for the Glenn.
