Colin will be heading to the cath lab AGAIN!! Colin had another echo yesterday which showed that the Milrinone only provided a marginal improvement to Colin's right ventricle so, the plan is to take Colin to the cath lab and put a hole between his atrium's. This will help Colin's right ventricle by reducing more pressure, hopefully allowing his liver to shrink in size and stop all the GI backup. His oxygen sats will be lower due to the hole (in the 80's) but, the hole can be closed in the future after he gets a chance to load up on calories and grow, besides lower sats are better than right ventricle failure......The cath will be either today or Wednesday, depending on availability.
Yes...I know Colin is a die hard NY Mets fan, but I guess with all he has been through and the great doctors and nurses he has, he decided that he would wear a Boston Red Sox hat to show his appreciation. As Uncle Brian pointed out, he won't smile however until the hat is off his head.........(this was a photo taken 2 weeks ago after mommy bought the hat at Fenway Park after we took a tour....I wanted nothing to do with it, however i like the look of the hat....)

Uncle Marc really approves of Colin's new hat. I think he looks perfect in whatever he is wearing. Let's hope Colin didn't overdo it celebrating St. Patty's day in Boston with the nurses.
Nanna says Colin looked a little sad because he wanted his Mets hat back! He's wearing it under duress.
We miss you and send you hugs and kisses and prayers for a speedy cath. recovery. Love, Nanna, Auntie Sue, and Uncle Marc
Sweet baby we are still praying for you. Hope we can see those pictures of you smiling soon. God bless you and your family.

I'm so glad to hear that there is a plan. It's probably not the most ideal, but it seems best for Colin's little body right now.
Good luck with the cath! I hope you can get in quickly.
Sending prayers your way!
