Count Down to the Cath

On Wednesday we will be checking into the hospital at 5:30am. Payton will get to put on a cute little hospital robe. The only difference in the picture below is that she won't start out with the oxygen on... also she won't be so at ease. I know that she will suspect something & be on edge.

Her cath should start at 7am & we hope that it will take around 2 or 3 hours & not 5 hours like it was last time. At our consult I asked if it will take as long. Dr. Adhoot couldn't predict anything, obviously, but he did say that because she is bigger he should have an easier time maneuvering around... so we will wait & see what happens. I laughed when he said this because it is completely opposite from my perspective because the older she gets the more difficult she becomes... where are my priorities? ;)

The Cath is suppose to be an outpatient procedure but last time it took her a while to recover because the Cath took so long. We were able to leave by the next morning.

We hope that things will go as smoothly as it did last time but with every procedure there are always risks involved. We would like to invite you to join us in fasting for Payton. Your prayers & efforts are appreciated!

For updates as to how Payton is doing on the day of the Cath please check our blog. It will be updated as we receive updates throughout the day.
