Prayers for Heart Cath Procedure Monday and HAPPY EASTER!

So we've been pretty comfortable and a little happier getting to stay with Isaac in his new room. Yesterday morning, during doctor's rounds, they surprised me by telling me that a heart cath was scheduled for today. Nothing much more was said but one of the doctors did say that the heart cath doctor would be speaking with us later today. I waited....and waited until finally at about 5:30pm, that same doctor came and said that they had a problem. It was realized that there are no rooms available in the ICU units and so therefore it could not be done today but that it was going to be scheduled for Monday instead. Sure, its not surgery but pretty close. They will be going in to stent his ASD. This is actually a process that is done with the hybrid norwood, but since the hole was already there, they said "why fix it if it ain't broke." They have found that some ASD's close on their own, but some stay open. And with Isaac, they thought not to mess with it in case it didn't close up. Since his last echo that was done, they have said that the hole is gradually getting smaller and that they need to do this procedure now than later before its really too late. I'm a little relieved that it won't be done until Monday. It'll give us a chance to spend Easter with Isaac and Eli without Isaac being under sedation. We'll try to get some good pictures of them together. But anyways, I don't know what time on Monday, but I'll post as we get anymore information. Please keep praying! His surgeon is surprised at how well Isaac is doing at the moment. He's still very stable and is almost taking half of his feedings by mouth at almost every feeding. Sometimes we can't get him good and awake for his feedings. Also please keep praying for his "angel heart" to get here soon. God Bless and have a Happy Easter!
