Call from cardiac surgeon



We got the call to say that thankfully Broc is still a candidate for a cardiac cath.His card in South Bend was not sure but the cards at Riley think they can definitely help him without OHS. We were so thankful to hear that news.Although we know there are still many risks that do go along with that too.

They did however tell us that this procedure could make his leakage worse and then we would be looking at OHS sooner than we want.

He did say that Broc would have to spend the night as we live so far away from the hospital and he would like to monitor him for a while.

Although a cardiac cath is not OHS , for us it is still really scary.There are many complications that can happen or they could balloon the valve too much and therefore blow it apart.It is a very delicate procedure.We are hoping for the best.We love you Broc.
