We are back at the Ronald McDonald House!

Colston did so good today. I was so worried because of what happened last time but today all they did was take pictures and look around, last time they actually did intervention stuff and that's what he reacted to. 

The cath took about two and a half hours. They didn't have any hiccups. We got to see Colston back in PACU right after. He was sleepy and loopy for most of the time in recovery. 

He had to lay there on the bed for six hours after to make sure he didn't bleed out of his groin area where they put the catheter in. About the last hour is when he started to wake up and wanted to play. 

The nurse was surprised at how good of a patient he was. She said a lot of the time they have to keep the babies sedated or strapped down so they don't move but Colston was such a trooper. The little bit that he was awake he just laid there staring and us. 

We got our discharge instructions and got to take him back to the house to be on "bed rest." They still want him to lay down as much as possible the next 24 hours. He didn't get that memo because he has been his normal crazy self ever since we got back. 

We have a couple mellow days just hanging out at the Ronald McDonald House and then we have an appointment with the surgeon on Monday and then on Tuesday he has to be admitted for his surgery on the 4th. 

I will update after we talk to the surgeon on Monday and get our game plan. 

Thanks for the prayers!
