no OHS!

The Cath worked so no surgery for my buddy! They were able to patch the hole and they also ballooned his aorta because it showed  some narrowing. He is in recovery  and will stay at the hospital over night. And should be released some time tomorrow. There was  son  tearing with the ballooning of the aorta but they said it's normal and no  overall a problem.

He will have an echo and EKG in  the morning.

He was taken back at 7:45 for his Cath we will not het update  for a few hours. Let the waiting begin.

We check in at 6am tomorrow for Aiden's surgery. I will update when I can.

Happy Grandparents Day!

Candle in the dark

I feel so much lighter today with just the fact my little guy may not have open heart surgery. I do  not realize how much it has been weighinghing me down until after that phone call. Yes I do know he may still an  up having surgery but before it was th  only thing they could do. Now? Now there is a chance he does not and that make  me happy just the chance of not needing it that a Cath can fix his heart. Yes it did bother me that they were nit going yo do a Cath so them calling and changing the plans yay!


We got up early this Mormon  because hubby was going to go to comic con with my brother  an  I was going to go to Hallmark with my mom while  grandpa watched the boys. It was nice getting out for a bit without the boys. It's been a while. We ended up getting there to early. They were no  opened yet so ended up at Target. We ended up buying two Halloween shirts for my oldest because he loves Halloween a lot! Also got something for A on clearance. They do not have any Halloween stuff foe his age big bummer there.

BANANA

This kid can and will wear them year round. Also stopped at the dollar section because they have some good deals. Bought some tape, wrapping paper and a shark book for Connor. Also bought some M&Ms to try a new flavor pumpkin spice there not bad little strange but not bad I prefer the mint ones.

By then Hallmark was open and went and bought the ornament I have been waiting for. Special edition of the mischievous kitty's set. Also ended up buying  Now for Connor because yeah can not resist.

Lastly we stopped at Yankee candles cause my mom had a coupon. I ended up buying a candle as a joke for my husband. He is Hawaiian an  hate  how they lab something as Hawaiian by just adding pineapple to it, ticks him off. He also hates cilantro calls it a weed goes of if he says anything that has it in it so this candle just cracked m  up!

It was so worth two dollars!

Cath lab here we come

Cardiology called and there has been a change in plans for Tuesday.  They had a care conference and  they believe that they can fix the hole  in his heart via a heart catheterization. For information  the procedure go here. If this work them no OHS an  a much faster discovery. Usually  only stay over night instead of 3-4 days. Healing  is much faster! No breaking his ruins, opening him up stopping  his heart of bypass!

He will be the first case of the day because I  it does not work he will go from there to surgery and things will proceed as originally planned.   I am hoping the Cath works but I admit they scare me a little but they are so much less evasive that it would be easier on him ans on all of us. We will fond out Tuesday I will update on that day.

Dream

I had a rather strange dream last night. Okay the majority of my dreams are bizarre I might start writing about them more often just because of how unique they are. This on was not as weird as then others well I will write what my dream was and you can decide.

We were at the hospital but it was not the hospital we go to for A. It was in fact a building at the community college I went to. Part of that building contained a garage used to teach car repair. We were not in that area but in the front of the building which is very 80's construction. Old wood and dark brick. We were there because the little guy was admitted to the hospital the night before and he was going in for heart surgery. We were on edge my parents were with me. Connor was home with uncle. We were becoming on edge because we were not getting any information.

My mom headed up the stairs to demand what was going on! Minutes later mom came back down smiling in her hands was a hamster(looked like my favorite pet hamster I had growing up). She look at me and shows him to me. You could tell he has been opened up and sewed up. I was told that the surgery went well. I started freaking because she was holding him and he needed to recoup!

She left and I turned and tried to call work since I had not called to say I was not coming in. My phone was not working I finally got through and told them I needed time off to take care of my hamster who had his surgery a week early. Which I never finished saying because I realized how silly that sounded and was waiting for John Cleese to come in and wave his arms saying okay that's enough this has become to silly! I woke up at that point.

If it's not obvious next week is weighing heavily on my mind.

This better be isolated occurrence!!!!!!!

So we have been having Aiden avoid people as much as we can right now. So must say was not happy when he threw up all over me this morning! I mean really? Hoping it was because moments before he bumped his head and was crying. That better be the reason otherwise crap!!!!!!!!

Maybe he did it to get another bath! He loves baths and after the surgery can not have one for a while.



ETA: Finally let me add a photo A after his bath.
