Cath Postponed

Well, nothing ever goes as planned, right? Today we had our pre-cath appointment with Dr. Van Gundy and he decided to postpone Caden's heart catheterization because he still has a cold. He hasn't had a fever at all and his lungs are clear but he is coughing and congested. So, Dr. Van Gundy wants to play it safe and wait. I don't know when it will happen now because his office manager was out of the office until next week. She is supposed to call us then and let us know.

Dr. Van Gundy said if he did it now, the pulmonary pressures could be off because of the cold and he wouldn't be able to get accurate information anyway. And, he also decided to wean down on one of Caden's medications before the procedure also in order to not have that affecting the results. If he did it Monday and Caden was still on this med and still had a cold, there was a strong possibility he would have to have another cath done in the near future. We would rather wait and only do it once. It's kind of a bummer that we have to wait and can't just get it over with. But at least this way we should only have to do it once.

Like I said before, God is in control and his timing is perfect. Thank you all for your prayers. I will keep you posted on any new news.
