Long Day in Baltimore

Addy had to be put under anesthesia today in order to have a 3D echocardiogram and an MRI. Unfortunately Matt and I were unable to be with her during the procedures, but she did very well.

Adriana is now 11 pounds, 10 ounces and her oxygen saturations are still around 90%.

The 3D echo and MRI were in preparation for surgery--basically so Dr. Kaushal (Addy's pediatric heart surgeon) has better measurements. It ensures that he will know exactly what he is dealing with beforehand. The cardiology team at UMMC will meet on Monday to go over the pictures and videos of her heart and discuss her case. They will then determine a game plan. Dr. Baker-Smith will call us back in a week or two when they have all made a decision on exactly what the operational procedures will entail.  Surgery is still planned for sometime between January and March... Though Matt and I will never be ready for it :-(
