Success!

First off, I'm sorry for not getting an update here yesterday. We couldn't get the Internet to work most of the time we were at the hospital.
Our day began yesterday at 4:30AM. I hadn't slept much all night. My mind just wouldn't stop. It had been two years since our last hospital experience and I just didn't want to have to take Kyson back. I knew it was only a heart cath (not a big deal compared to surgery) but I was concerned about what news the doctors would have for us. Anyway, our alarm was set for 4:30 and I just got up at 4:25 because I was just watching the clock anyway!
We got ready and left about 5 and got to the hospital at 5:30. Everything went smoothly getting checked in. Kyson was a happy little man, making all the nurses laugh as he shouted, "To infinity and BEYOND!" (He's been a little obsessed with Buzz Lightyear lately:) They found a Toy Story book that he ended carrying around with him all day long.
A little after 7:30 we gave Kyson hugs and kisses and they took Kyson one way while we went another. I am grateful I never had to hear him cry, he was happy when we left.
About 9:00 they said they called and said they had everything ready to begin the actual heart cath. They had some trouble getting things started. The femoral vein in his right leg is not accessible anymore...sometime in a previous surgery or cath it was damaged, but it shouldn't ever be a big deal for him, doctors just need to be aware for future procedures.
Sometime around 10:00 we were able to speak with Dr. Graziano. He said everything is looking great. Best news ever! I was so relieved.
After talking to the doc for a min we got to go see Kyson. He was sad and not feeling good. I got to hold him right away. He kept crying for juice, so we gave him some. He asked for more and we gave him more. Well, about fifteen min later it all came back up. Now if that wasn't bad enough, I had one of the most embarrassing moments of my life right then. The doc and nurses were all trying to clean Kyson up (I was still holding him) and I felt myself starting to pass out. I told everyone I had to put Kyson down. I got him back to his bed and as soon as I sat down...I was out! I'm not sure what caused it. I took care of Kyson in both of his previous surgeries and never had any issues. I'm guessing it was a combination of being so tired, hot, and being thrown up on. Whatever it was, I was embarrassed. At least I gave something for all the nurses to laugh about. When we got a new nurse later on, she asked me, "So, is the rumor that you passed out really true?" Oh, great. So they're all getting a good laugh because of me!
Anyway, back to Kyson. He got some medicine for his nausea and some pain medicine and he slept for a while. When we woke up, he ate some food. We put the laptop in his bed and let him watch Toy Story.

He just laid there and watched the entire movie. Perfect, since he was supposed to lay flat for 6 hours after the procedure. After Toy Story he watched Cars and then Wiggles. He was a little angel. Hardly any tears all day long. I am grateful. Here he is with Jared's IPOD in hand watching Cars...very content!

About 4:00 they said we could go home and our nurse checked us out. Yay!!!
Here's quick pic before we left.


There are a few people I want to say a HUGE thank you to.
Katie: Thanks for staying the night at our house to watch Caleb in the morning. You're the best!
Velika: Thank you for watching Caleb ALL DAY and bringing us a very yummy dinner.
Natalie and Dallas: Thanks for spending the day with us and keeping us company!
Everyone who called, texted, or emailed us: THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. WE ARE SO BLESSED TO BE SURROUNDED BY LOVING FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

Kyson woke up happy as can be this morning. He's running around playing with his brother. It's nice to have the heart cath behind us and to have been blessed with the good news that he's doing well. Next week we will meet with Dr. Alhadheri to discuss the results and decide when surgery #3 will be. For now, I'll try not to think about surgery and I'll just be grateful for the good news we recieved yesterday.
