Heart Cath

We are in recovery from having James heart catheter done today. He is still sleeping, but will wake up soon. His leg needs to be still 4 hours after the catheter so he needs to lay flat and his leg is tied down. Everything went really well, but when the anesthesiologist was taking out his breathing tube he stopped breathing and they had to give him medicine to relax his lungs and they gave his some help getting his breath back. The doctor believe that he still have some traces left on his lungs from the flu, he had in the beginning of May, and they believe that is why it happened. Therefore they have decided to wait a few weeks with the Glenn surgery. Hopefully we do not need to wait to long for the procedure. But better to play it safe than take any risks. We will stay the night at the hospital and then we will all go home in the morning. We will post the new surgery date as soon as we have gotten it scheduled.
