Today, Sasha had his heart cath done. The point was to check the pressure levels in his heart and lungs to be sure that open-heart surgery was a viable option for him. The prognosis is good! His pressure levels are slightly elevated, but nothing out of the realm of what the cardiologist expected to see. We checked in at 6:30am, he was in the cath lab by 8am, out before 10, and we were home just after 5pm. He has a large bruise and a puncture wound on his inner thigh where they used a vein to access his heart. Besides that and a tiny remnant from an IV in his hand, he is pretty much back to normal already. We have already been contacted by the surgeon who will complete his open-heart surgery. We are looking at scheduling it sometime in the next 3 weeks. It will require about a week in the hospital and a 6-week post-surgery recovery period. Prayers for our ability to keep this wild-man under wraps for 6 weeks would be appreciated!

He looks so different in the post surgery grogginess, it must be because he isn't smiling :). I think he and Kaylee may be related, they just look so much alike in the last picture.
Glad everything went well.
Best of luck to you all!
Praying Sasha will feel back to normal when he wakes up in the morning and that he will be willing to have a mellow day (lots of DVDs).
