Day 3

Tucker came out of the cardiac cath late in the afternoon. We where called to Children's to meet with the cardiac cath team. We where told that his right ventricle was not going to be able to be used. So our first setback is that he will be a single ventricle child. The team was able to place two stints to keep the VSD open. This will hopefully allow him to skip the first open heart surgery. We should know more next week once we see how he maintains his oxygen levels. Tucker did get to feed today, he did not tolerate very much before falling asleep which is common. But we are hopeful that it should improve overnight tonight. More to come, including photos.
