Bryce's Heart Cath

Bryce's heart cath went great. Dr. McMahon called us a little bit ago and we are waiting to see him in recovery! We appreciate every single prayer that was sent up on our angel's behalf. We felt every one. I will try to give details later
but no other surgery needed anytime soon!! Love you all!!

UAB Trip Next Week

Big Mama (Jon's Mom) and I took Bryce on Wednesday to see Dr. Israel for a check-up. Back in the Summer, we were told that a cath lab procedure might be necessary in the future to keep one of the valves from narrowing too much where it was reattached during open heart surgery back in January. Basically, where they had to switch the vessels back during the arterial switch operation, the scar tissue is building up and is causing the vessel to narrow, making it difficult for the blood to flow smoothly through the valve. So, back to UAB we go this coming Thursday for a balloon angioplasty with Dr. McMahon, the interventional cardiologist and Dr. Law, a cardiologist that was present at Bryce's open heart surgery. We will have to stay overnight and get to come home Friday. There is no doubt that my little man will pull through this like he did back in January but we are scared to death. I will take him Monday morning to the pediatrician here to get his pre-op blood work done. Please pray for Bryce to have minimal pain, a successful procedure, and be a big, brave boy. He is precious to us and we love him so much. Although it is hard going through all of this, we know God has chosen us to be his parents and He has big plans for Bryce! Merry Christmas and I will post soon on how everything goes.
