Cath Lab


Bridger was able to go to the cath lab yesterday, where the function of his different vessels were checked. The squeeze of his heart looked okay, but he does have increased pressures in his lungs. This is probably from the damage his lungs sustained when he was so ill back in Nov/Dec/Jan. So the next step is to try some medications to help treat his pulmonary hypertension. The hope is that this will buy him some time to help strengthen his lungs. So no real big changes today, just some medication adjustments.

Bridger looks so happy!! Maybe he just missed his PCMC family : ) I'm glad to hear things aren't "so" bad, and that hopefully a medication change will be all it takes. I'm sure that is not where you want to be, so I hope this visit doesn't last very long. Please keep us updated, and know that we are all thinking and praying for you still. Love to you all!

I love looking at pictures of Bridger. He is such a cute boy with so much personality and expression in his face. I miss seeing him (and you!) everyday. Hope the med changes are making a big difference for him. Talk to you soon. Ü
