Update on Gavin

Gavin is doing well this morning... currently watching Elmo and trying to take a nap. Ok, so let me try to explain what they did yesterday during the procedure... They did not have to do the balloon or stint so that is a great thing! They did find a blood clot on the right side of his neck, doctor said it was in a vein that goes down, so the clot could not travel to his brain... it could go to the lungs, however Dr. S is not concerned about that and he feels that it has been there for awhile and will dissolve over time with blood thinners. They will continue to watch it and if need be they will do another heart cath after his Fontan surgery to get rid of it. Secondly, there were some vessels that grew to his lungs that they had to coil (spring looking thing, that cuts off vessels) off. Otherwise Dr. S. feels that his blood flow is great and they will have a conference on Friday to discuss Surgery date. Gavin has been on antibiotics, had a chest xray this morning, we are still waiting on the results. He is supposed to have an EKG and and Echo cardiogram this afternoon. Other than that he is doing great! Will keep you all updated.... Thanks again for all of your prayers and well wishes, means a lot to us... sorry we haven't had the time to respond to each of you individually. But again, thanks for all you do!
