Echo results

So we are home after a very early morning. We had to check in at 7:15am. We spent the night at Annies..(Thanks).
So not a whole lot has changed. They said is heart looks o.k. His pulmonary artery leading to the left side of his Glenn seems to be narrowing. (Don't worry if this doesn't make sense, it took us a crash coarse in heart anatomy to learn everything). They will be able to tell how much it is narrowed when they do his heart cath. So now instead of having his cath in Sept. They are going to do it this month sometime. We are waiting to hear from scheduling, so I am guessing that his next surgery will also be moved up sooner.
Brysons need for the added oxygen seems to only be elevation related. When you are in a higher elevation your blood vessels constrict and don't allow as good of blood flow. So they are guessing that Bryson is just very sensative to the elevation changes. When we were in SLC today he was turned way down on his oxygen because he was saturating so well. However until they get him in the cath lab everything is a guess right now. So there you have it. A little change, not a lot, and now hurry up and wait for the next appt. :)
Thanks for checking in on us.

I'm glad to hear that you guys are on top of his condition...we always check on our sweet Bryson and wish your family the best. Getting ready for surgery is never easy. When Brinley says her prayers at night she never forgets to bless her heart friends and either do we. Thanks Jennylin for all you do.

Hugs,
Mike & Family
