The kids loved going to the movie theater downstairs for family night. It was an exciting movie!
The echo was done this morning to determine heart function. During rounds, the doctors said we were clear to move to the floor this afternoon. The echo showed that Caleb's heart function is still moderately depressed. The cardiologist said that when we do go home we'll have to be extremely vigilant in watching for the slightest change of any behavior as a sign of major concern and to get him in quickly as he won't have much wiggle room.
Not long after rounds, we were told there was a change in plans. The cardiologist reread the echo and was concerned with pockets in the walls of the ventricle not squeezing properly. She wanted us to have a catheterization to look at his coronary artery. The coronary artery comes out of the his ventricle at more of an angle instead of a curve and they want to look at this and see if it is the cause. They are going to take him back to the Cath Lab first case tomorrow morning. We will be in the PCICU for at least a few more days.

Look at that smile! God certainly dwells in Caleb's heart - how else could he produce such a genuine happy smile after all he is going through. Thanks for sharing him and your whole family with us.
