Cath day

5/1 11am
Well we are still waiting for them to come take colt back for the cath procedure. Been here since 9:15. It's now 11. Good thing we have a good baby. Somehow he hasnt started screaming of hunger yet. He's all decked out in his tiger gown and I just got him to sleep actually! Hopefully it won't be too much longer before they come.

Took him back at 1. Said would take at least 2 hrs. Called at 2 said they had started cath and everything was going smooth so far. Called at 2:30 said they were done! He did great everything looked like they thought it would.
He stayed in recovery for about an hour and a half or so. We are now in our own room. He's in a crib now so no room for a bed for one of us. We have the pull out chair thingy and an air mattress on the way. Not sure if we can get away with that but we are going to try :)

Colts doing well. Only needed Tylenol once so far. He's had 6 oz of pedialyte and only about one of milk. Hoping to get some more milk in him in a couple hours. I sure don't miss all the cords and wires attached to him. Or all the beeping on the monitors. Have any of you ever tried to entertain a 5 month old when you're confined to a crib?? Or how about rocking him to sleep??

We finally got him to sleep around 8, then they had someone come in at 9:45 to do an EKG which did not go well. Haven't they ever heard not to wake a sleeping baby?? Then they took him downstairs for an X-ray but Andrew was able to go with him. He drank about 3 ounces of milk afterwards and went to sleep around 11. He slept pretty soundly until 5:30. Andrew and I not so much. We only have the pull out chair to share. I told him tonight he's in the bath tub! It was a long day with many more to go. Very thankful it went as smoothly as it did. Praying the coming days do as well.
