We have a new plan...well, kind of:


Dr. Hanley's PA just called and here's what they know from the cat scan:
**The confluence is large around the central PA.  They're not sure yet if it's an aneurysm.
**There are 3 small left Pulmonary branches that are stenotic (narrowing)
**They can't confirm that it's the heart putting pressure on the bronchial tubes...but, they can see that there is some narrowing of the bronchial tubes (this could need further study after the heart operation)
**We're still on the schedule for surgery on Thursday
**He has a good white count...but, his blood count is a little low at 296.
**Heart cath is scheduled for Tuesday at 8am.

WHEW....what a week we'll  have!
Isaac is currently a grumpy bug...we'll take it!

It's 10:00 and I haven't had my cereal yet...so, I've got to get downstairs...it'll be lunch soon!!

Thanks for checking on us!

Ugh! Well, at least you can visit with your family while you wait. I'm hoping it all goes well this next week.
