Tomorrow

We will be second tomorrow morning for the surgery, first one is slotted at 7 so Liam will probably go around 10am.

We got to see a video of yesterday's procedure showing us the issue today. When they inject the left side of his heart with dye, the right side should not light up at all or minimally. About half, if not more, lights up, meaning that hole is not tolerable and a stitch may have come loose due to the pressures. This extra blood flow causes all the pressures to rise, which is forcing the lymphnodes to leak and the extra blood is then flooding his lungs- before the surgery, he had 80% flow, and should have 100% now. He is at 400% of blood flow which is why his little body cannot get rid of the fluid or breathe well. All is expected to really instantaneously slow down with this surgery.
