health update

I am just a posting-fool today! lol. It has been awhile for updates so I thought I'd just keep going while I had the time.

Parrish had his sedated echo last Friday and things went well. The nurse said "this is how we can tell what kind of drunk they'll be when they get older... when it hits him either he will get mad and feisty or mellow out". Well, unfortunately for him he is going to be that guy at the party who passes out first and everyone does stuff to him and takes pictures! lol. After his heart rate went up, he passed out and did fine. Its so amazing what they can see with those specialized sonogram machines. Oh, and she told me that it would probably give him gas. What she didn't know is that since he hadn't eaten and had the medicine, he didn't get a chance to poop at his usual time and had helacious gas when we got there! So on the way out she says "now, when he finally does go to the bathroom, it could be explosive". I swear that is what she said! So when we went to meet Murvin for dinner , he started playing with him- and Parrish pooped right out the side of the diaper onto his uniform! lol. That nurse was NOT lying :)

He weighed 12lb and was 24.25in. He is getting so big!

He has a heart catheterization scheduled for this coming Wednesday the 20th. They will insert the cath in his groin up to he heart and check the pressures in the chambers and his lung function as well. They will probably keep him overnight. We should get a better picture of when his next open heart surgery will be based on what they see and if they have to insert a balloon in an area that is narrowing (it is where the blood is pumped to the body) to buy some time. Will keep you all updated- promise :)
