Cath lab
Well Bridger made it through cath lab. There were no changes in his pulmonary pressures from two months ago, so they tested some medications again. Bridger also had a CT scan of his lungs to check for any other pulmonary disease that might be causing increased pressures, but there was none. He does have an obstructed pulmonary vein in his left lower lung that is contributing to his struggles. So the plan for now is to try one of the new medicines to see if it helps, they will do another echo in a day or two and we will go from there. So this isn't the quick overnighter we were hoping for, but we want what is best for Bridger.

I'm sorry Bridger's pressures aren't better, but at least they aren't worse. And, you still have things to try. That in itself is great news. I know you don't want to be back up at Primary, hopefully it will only be for a few days. Please let us know how the next echo goes, and what the plan will be. Bridger is a tough little guy, and he has those stubborn Smith genes. He will get better. Please let us know if you need anything. Hang in there! : )
Ugh, I hope you get some answers soon. That is so hard!

It's amazing to me at how many different medications there are. I hope they find something that works soon. I'm sorry you're back at Primary's. But you're right, "we want what is best for Bridger", we all do. Hang in there...like you have a choice :)
Thanks for the update Staci! We are all hoping for the best, and are glad that there are more medications to try. Hang in there all of you. Love ya, Heather and family!
