No real news. The boys continue to be excellent in nearly every way. We need to talk Griffith out of waking up every night between 3 and 4 (he's decided that he really wants that bottle that he dropped weeks ago), but, other than that, he's a pretty reasonable guy as long as he is getting his way.
Allan continues to impress the therapists. He can sit without support and turns his head left and right for sounds without a problem. He and Griffith have been having a good time with each other and we are working on rolling the ball back and forth between them. Every once in a while Griffith decides that it is HIS BALL and whacks it away from Allan or grabs it and holds it, but Allan isn't content to just sit there. He's pretty good about grabbing the ball and holding on to it himself.
We are looking forward to a long holiday weekend. Aunt Kathy is coming for a visit and that's always good for a lot of fun. She knows lots of songs and stories and always has time to play.
Allan has his heart cath on Tuesday. We have to be there at 7 a.m. so Flora is going to come and spend the night on Monday. She's looking forward to spoiling Griffith "after hours" and we are looking forward to her being the one to deal with 4 a.m. waking.
The very helpful nurse called today to see if we had any questions about when, where, how, etc. and to make sure that we knew that Allan would need a driver. Um. Yes. Make sure he doesn't drive home. Check. Thanks. You've been very helpful.
We are allegedly the second case on for the day and (allegedly) should go back about 9:30 or 10:00. They will put a wire in through his femoral artery and up in to his heart. They will measure the pressures and inject dye and look for where the hole is. Start to finish the whole thing should take about an hour and a half. If Allan does well, then we should be home sometime Tuesday afternoon. We should also know if what we have is an AP window or something else. They'll take the results and probably forward them for review and then we'll know whether we are off somewhere to have it patched.
We will blog as soon as we get a chance and let every one know how things have gone.
Have a great weekend!
