UPDATE....NOTHING HAPPENED!

Well today was our scheduled cardiac catheter. We arrived at the hospital a little before 11am. The morning had gone surprisingly well. I expected Cooper to be very difficult since we were not able to feed him after 7am however he was really good. We spent about 2 1/2 hours of "prep" work for his surgery. They took all of Cooper's vitals and several nurses came to check him out. Finally, Dr. Kaine came in and said we were going to have to reschedule to Monday because the table was broke. Apparently, there is a special table needed for this procedure and after this morning the motor went out. Poor little Coop, starved for nothing. So now we are back on the waiting block for Monday. His SATS level had dropped to the low 70's which was even lower than it was just a week ago. There were several comments made also about his less than perfect color. That left us knowing surgery is right around the corner. We will head back up there on Monday and I am sure have many more answers by Tuesday.....I hope.

Last night when I put Raelynn to bed I told her that we would be taking Cooper to the hospital today and that Mommy and Cooper would not be home until tomorrow sometime. The sweet little things eye's teared right up and she asked if Baby Cooper was going to be alright. She is so sweet and knows so much more than we give her credit for. She was also very concerned that Daddy would not know what to do to take care of her overnight. It was hilarious because Terry is actually a very active Father so the fact that she does not think he knows how to care for her just makes me smile. Anyway, once she realized that she could tell Daddy what needed to be done, i.e. bath, bedtime snack, story etc, she was fine with it. When things got mixed up today, she was very concerned and told me I would have to go over the schedule with her again on Monday. The kid cracks me up. She acts more like a grown up every day!!!

So everything has been postponed and we will surely have more information by Tuesday :) !
