Back in the hospital

So we went home last night thinking surgery would still be february 9th. We got a call last night though that after the cardiologist that did the catheterization got a chance to talk to the surgeon and our local cardiologist, they felt it would be best to move surgery up to next week. It won't be scheduleled until Monday but it would likely be Tuesday, Thursday or Friday.

So that was yesterday. . .today has been a little bit hectic. Landon has been fussier than usual, not eating very well and started having a wet cough. We called dr brames, our cardiologist in the springs and have talked to him several times today. He finally decided it would be best to see Landon so we met him at the hospital and that's where we are now.  So far the xray and ekg have come back ok and they are testing him for the flu and rsv (respiratory virus). They also did a nebulizer treatment to help his breathing which has a definite rattle to it.  Dr B said they'll probably keep him here 24 hours just to keep a close eye on him.

If he does end up having something infectious (which seems the likely culprit now), they would probably push back surgery until he's better unless the need for surgery became imminent.
