Another Big Day Coming - Next Hospital Procedure

Hey folks,

My apologies for not posting more pictures and video of late, but I wanted to let everyone know that Peyton is going back to Dell Childrens Hospital on October 29th for a follow-up cardiac catheterization. There's nothing specifically wrong. It's just to make sure that everything is working as it should. Dr. Holt will look for good blood flow to the heart muscle. He'll check for clots devloping around where they pinched off the extra plumbing. And she's got a minor leak in her aortic valve, and he's going to get a better look at that too.

Thankfully the recovery time should just be 6 hours or so which makes this a day procedure. We'll have to keep her flat (and probably restrained and sedated) during that time so that the vein in her leg can heal.

We are grateful for your prayers and encouragements. I'll keep you posted with the outcome.

Karl
