Heart catheterization done.

Evynn had her heart catheterization today.  Her cardiac team as all concerned about what they might find and whether her heart would even tolerate the procedure.  They didn't find anything unusual.  The surgeon decided the only explanation was her large fenistration in her heart (intentional hole from the Fontan).  They tested closing it during the cath and found her pressures to be good.  The surgeon closed her fenistration which stopped the mixing of her red & blue blood.  She is back in her own room on the cardiac ward.  She is pink!  Evynn's oxygen saturation levels are 98%, her heart rate & respiratory rate have both come down.  We were warned that it could be weeks to months to know whether she tolerates this step this early.  We have to watch that the plural effusion (fluid around lung) doesn't come back and that her blood pressure doesn't drop too low.  Today, she is recovering well.
