Dominic had the cath procedure yesterday, but they did not end up doing anything to his pulmonary arteries. Long story short: it was deemed too risky and unlikely to work once they got inside his heart and took pictures. So it was determined he will have to come back for surgery in a couple of weeks. This will involve opening up his chest again, and if a less invasive surgery goes wrong, then they will be prepared to change it to a bypass surgery and change his whole conduit out. So basically, they would redo the surgery he had when he was 10 days old.
So aside from poking a few more holes in Dominic, nothing was accomplished this trip. He is in the same condition he was when we left Saskatoon.
I am SO ready to be done with all of these surgeries...
Soon you can settle into a normal life ;) .... Once they stop jerking you around.
