Back from Cath

He's back!

He did ok. Needed more sedation during his procedure. He may have a clot in his left leg from the clot. They had to use his artery on that side. If they can't find his pulse soon they will do an ultrasound and if they find a clot will start heparin. Oh - starting ultrasound now....yay!!! Found a pulse! Phew!
His right ventricle is "stiff" meaning it has high pressure and doesn't let new blood in as easily. Means if they decide to move ahead with the surgery tomorrow - there is a very slight chance they won't and will try to get the pressure down with meds for a few weeks first - he may have a little harder recovery than originally anticipated.
