Back from Cath Lab

Sam just returned to his room on 8 east from the cath lab. He has had a long day, but has done really well. All of his measurements look good and the plan is for surgery on monday morning. He will have the bi-ventricular repair and the ross procedure (this replaces his aortic valve with his pulmonary valve and a tissue valve is put in place of the pulmonary valve). This is great news and what we have been holding out for! After this surgery Sam will be using all four chambers of his heart!!
The plan for the rest of the night is to keep him quiet and resting, he has to lay flat for another four hours. We will be able to discharge in the morning and return monday morning for surgery. Thanks for the prayers!
