Dr Nugent (Cath lab doctor) just came out and updated us. He says Lia's heart looks great for Fontan. Her aortic arch, pulmonary arteries, left ventricle, and mitral valve look good. Her pressures in her heart are all optimal for proceeding with the Fontan on May 6th. He was extremely pleased with her coiled off collateral vessel that they dealt with two years ago. All good news....
Now, about her electrophysiology study...they gave her a medication called Adenosine to try and see if they could avoid the full EP study. It was a simple test that could've gone two ways. If she had responded one way, they could have stopped and known for sure that she didn't need the ablation. Well, her heart didn't respond the way they wanted it to in order to not have to do the full study. So they are doing that now. It doesn't mean for sure she will need the ablation, but now they need to do the full study to know for sure. My gut tells me they will do the ablation. That's ok with me if they do. It's just another safety net.... Wait a minute. Dr Scott (EP doctor) just came out and told us that she didn't need the ablation! So I was wrong...Finally, something in my life I don't mind being wrong about. Haha.
So they are finishing up with her now and we will see her in recovery in a little bit.
Love to you all.....
