Adelina's heart cath went really well! We are so grateful for all the prayers offered on her behalf. The narrowing ended up being a pretty big deal. One side of the narrowing was around 80% pressure and the other 50% they should be the same or else her heart is working too hard. Also, her gut wasn't getting sufficient blood flow. I expected to get a call between 11 and 11:30 but they called at 9:45 to say they were done, what a relief :) We also learned that she has another unique part to her heart that doesn't cause any issues but does matter for her next surgery. She has two superior vena cavas, it's really rare.
Adelina did not like coming out of the sedation. We spent all day trying to make her comfortable. Her cries were heart wrenching, she was running a fever and her pupils were dilated. Finally, at four o'clock they gave her Adavan and she's been sleeping peacefully ever since.
