Heart Cath

We got to STL yesterday about 11am and Damon had his ekg, echo, and xray. He was a really good boy for all of it. We were done about 2:30 and hadn't heard from RMH yet so we decided to just drive by and see if we were going to get a room. They did have one for us so we got settled in there. Damon was in such a good mood last night, smiling at everyone and playing. We got to see our friends Liam and his mom Christina, whom we've stayed at RMH with before. Liam is still waiting on his new kidney but is doing well.

We got to the hospital today at 9:30 and had to wait about 15 minutes for our room to be ready upstairs. Then after we got to our room we had to wait about 2 hours for them to come and get Damon for his cath. He went back to the cath lab about 12:15pm. He wasn't too upset about going with the dr, but he started to cry a little bit when they walked thru the door. The nurse just came in and told us that they have him asleep and everything is going fine. She said when they layed him down he started to scream because he didn't want to lay down. They are supposed to update us every hour so when they give us another update, I'll try to make a new post.

Good news though, Damon didn't have to go under general anesthesia or be on the ventilator which is what we first thought. He is just heavily sedated. We were really grateful for that information. Please keep sending up your prayers for him.
