Tyler Update

It has been a while since we have updated on our little man. He has been doing really well, is happy and a great little brother. He and Scott are starting to interact and play more and it is so fun to see his happy, sweet personality. He had a lung scan at UCSF about 2 weeks ago that showed a decrease in O2 on one side which could be a result of a couple of things. They have always been a little concerned about an aortic coarc as well as stenosis of his Pulmonary Artery due to surgery. His echo and EKG were pretty good last week, but the doctors were concerned about the lung scan result and oxygen sats that have been lower than normal. After his Glenn he was satting in the 90's and the past two months or so have been in the 80's. UCSF called today and we will be going in for a cardiac catheterization on Tuesday. The surgeon (well probably a fellow) will hopefully call tomorrow and go over the details. I think to an extent they go in and figure out what needs to be done. They are going to try to open up the PA stenosis and Coarctation with a balloon, as well as look for capillaries in the lungs to coil off so that his main arteries are receiving more blood and oxygen. We are hoping for an uneventful procedure, but you never know. There are things that could go wrong and we would appreciate all your thoughts and prayers for our little man.
