Hey all!
I know it's been too long since an update - but in this case, no news is good news! Micah is doing very good lately, thriving. That said..
Micah has his 10th cardiac catheterization coming next week, if all goes as planned.
It's in DC with the wonderful Dr. Kanter on Wednesday at about 9:30.
We do not expect any ballooning's or coilings to occur, however, we're going to double clarify the morning of with the doctors.
Why is he getting a cath? Well, his cardiologist saw that he has more collaterals going towards his lungs than before. Collaterals means that the main way isn't good enough. Therefore, pressures could also be off, and there could be narrowings (which is fixed by ballooning's) or collaterals that aren't useful (fixed by coiling).
Thanks for reading and keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.
