First Visit

We are finally able to see him, me and Lindsey are in the room with him now. He was ready to take visitors shortly after 5pm. His heart cath went well and Dr. Nugent, the neonatologist came out and talked to me while describing how everything went. He does have some lung damage, but we can just hope that the new tissue in his lungs will grow strong. It went as smooth as he had hoped and James heart had actually provided more oxygen then expected. His decompression vein had done some good after all, so the Doctors could take their time and be thorough. Now we just have to wait and see how he will recover after the procedure. The next step will be to see how his blood will flow and he will need some pulmonary artery bands put around them so the blood will slow down a little. One more thing, I just have to say that he is a very handsome boy. We love you James!
