Friday X 2

Joshua is going to go to the cath lab today at 5 and then for the MRI right after.
Dr Law will be bedside with him through all procedures today; Echo, cath and MRI.
Dr Johnston will be doing the cath and Denise will be putting him under. So glad that they are willing to work so late on a Friday night! :) The tricky part is that with his kidneys not working too hot they will be limited on the amount of contrast that they can use. There is a series of measurements and tests that will be ran. I will update when I know more. He will have a CT scan either Sunday or Monday. That also requires a lot of dye so it can't be done today.
He will be going into the unit (CICU) after the tests today.

I'm so sorry that you continue to ride a rollercoaster of unknowns. I am praying for you and Joshua!! God is good, Joshua is strong and it sounds like the Drs are on top of things. PRAYING it's not heart failure... you've already been down that road.
