We got to come see him a while ago and he has been eating (starting with pedialyte to see how his tummy would tolerate it) and hanging out and then fell asleep.
The doctor showed us that there is considerable narrowing in his shunt (it was put in at 3.5 mm and is measuring 2.2 mm in places now) - he actually showed us a few of the pictures they took which are really interesting. We're not sure yet if his surgery date will be moved up- there are rumors that the surgeon said he would leave it scheduled for Feb 9th but we haven't heard that from him yet. As long as he eats well (which he has done already) and oxygen saturation levels look good we will go home today. During the cath they tested him on oxygen and his flow looked better with it so we will probably take him home on oxygen until the next surgery. He is still on it now at a little higher flow than we'll use at home but he is still coming out of anesthesia so this is expected. Overall we're all doing well- just tired!
