Cath Day – Aug 19th, 2010

Well, the day has finally come and we are sitting in the waiting room waiting for his cath to finish, but we sill have another 3hrs to go. Well they said minimun it will take about 3hrs.  So typing away as somewhat of a distraction.

We have been waiting for this day to finally get here of course because this will tell us what needs to finally happen.  Everyone has prepared us for the worst of course, but we know that won’t be the case.

It is a more invasive cath because they are playing around in his little heart trying to get pressures from his pulmonary arteries, looking at his aortic arch for narrowings, and get pictures of his tricuspid valve to reconfirm what kind of regurgitation (leak) is there.  So a lot of poking around inside his heart which can set him back to having arrhythmias.  So they have told us they have everything possible on stanby, surgeon on standby, they have a portable bypass machine (ECMO) on standby which sounds awfully scary, but of course they have to tell us about it.   I just know that he is in the best hands he can possibly be. God is holding his little hand and his little heart and directing the amazing team he chose to do this for our son.  God gave these people amazing talents to work on little babies like Hudson and he guides them well.  We trust the team and the cardiologist, she is one amazing person.

Psalms 8: 3-8

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?   ‘6 you made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:  all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.  Psalm 9 : 1-2  I will praise you O Lord, with all my heart, I will tell of all your wonders.  I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O most high.  ”

If God can do and has done all those wonderful things, I know he is with our little angel right now, he will heal his little heart in ways we don’t know yet, but I know he continues to be a working miracle.

Thank you to all of you for your prayers,it helps us so much to have your support.
