No surgery in the morning

Late update

We got to the hospital at 9am. We met many people; cardiologists, phisicians, Cardiothoracic surgeons, anasthesiologists and some others. After answering many many questions, having Abi go through heart echo, chest x-Ray and blood work, we were out of the hospital after 7 hours. Abi did great though they wanted to get good pictures with the echo and they sedated her. This caused her blood saturation drop really bad and they had to give her some oxygen. After all of this when we got home they called us saying they didn't like some of the tests results and they don't want to do the surgery in the morning. They want to do a cath, a line driven up one of the veins to her heart to measure everything from the inside. Once they have more info they will discuss what they are doing next.

We don't know what they will do nor what the next step will be. We
have to be in the hospital at 7am and don't know what next. We will keep you updated.
