Quick Update: In short, David’s procedure today was successful. He’s currently sedated and resting in the CVICU. They should start waking him up soon and then starting up his meds and resuming his feeds. He’s going to receive a blood transfusion since his hemoglobin is low, but otherwise, they said he looks good and he’s…

December 25, 2023 – Merry Christmas!
We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We enjoyed time together – it was loud and chaotic here. This afternoon our cath lab doctor called to let us know that he would like to move David’s cath procedure to tomorrow for scheduling purposes. In my inability to see the future, last month I opted to…

Disclaimer: This post was started on the 21st and not finished until later. Everything in here took place on Thursday, December 21st. Today was clinic day – which means David had labs drawn, an echo, and then vitals and meeting with the cardiologist to go over questions, results, future planning, and any adjustments. We started…

Just a quick update: David’s cath procedure has been moved up from January to next Wednesday, December 27th. His cardiologist held her mini-conference today with the various members of David’s team and other senior cardiologists to try to come up with a plan for moving forward.

This morning David’s cardiologist called and she wanted him back in clinic today. The echo results from yesterday were not what she wanted to see so she consulted…

David’s been home for a week now, and oh what a week it has been. I was really hoping for a more relaxed atmosphere at home versus the hospital room, but what I have witnessed so far is being home is anything but that. I thought I might post weekly updates after his weekly cardiology…

Happy 1 Month, David! Today was a day of discomfort it seemed for David, as he was super fussy all day. He lost some weight again, but his doctor thinks it is due to the increase in the lasix which is causing him to pee off some extra fluids. Otherwise, his blood pressures are looking…

There’s a video creator that Adam and I enjoy watching called Dude Dad. One of his jokes is about how he does projects around the house, where he starts a new project before the last one was completely finished. He created a shirt for style of work and called it “A Couple More Days Construction…
