Pre-Op Today
Sophia had her pre-op today.
She is all clear to have her cath tomorrow.
I explained the specifics of the procedure in an earlier post. But basically, they are placing two stents in her right pulmonary artery. They are going to attempt to stretch the part of the artery narrowed by scarring from her last surgery to 10-12mm. It is currently around 2mm.
This shouldn't be a huge procedure compared to the one coming on the 15th. But, it has its share of possible complications. In this case, the benefits warrant taking the risk. They have made sure the CVS team is around just in case something happens requiring immediate surgery. But we do not anticipate this happening.
I will post with news as soon as I am able.
If all goes well Sophia might finally get some improvement to her oxygen saturation. Keep your fingers crossed.
Until tomorrow-Michael

Sophia is so beautiful, we are so lucky to have her.
May the surgeon's hand be guided by angels as he performs the procedure that will help Sophia gain much needed strength.

I have been praying for sweet Sophia all week, and especially this morning. I hope that the cath is a huge success!!
I will be praying for little Sophia, the doctors and mommy and daddy. Praying that the cath. will improve Sophia's oxygen sats and that no complications occur.
