So Benny had his circumcision a week ago and is recovering well from that. And then yesterday he had his cath and biopsy. Dr. Day said everything went really well and the pressures in his heart looked pretty good. He was a little concerned about the spidery veins that are coming off his coronary on the right side of his heart because there are a lot of them and they go to his lungs not to his heart so he just said we'll have to watch it and make sure that it doesn't take away blood needed for the heart. But so far that looked okay and the leaky tricuspid valve looked okay too. We still haven't gotten the lab or biopsy (I guess they ended up taking 5 pieces of the heart out to run tests on) results back yet but should on Monday. We anticipate everything will be fine though. Ben had a bit harder time coming off he anesthetic this time and he was quite grouchy and restless. Not at all like his regular sweet temperment but we felt badly for him, he'd had a rough day and was so hungry and tired and the nurses kept waking him up! Cody and I were grouchy about that too. It was a REALLY long day, as they always are, and we were exhausted when we got home, but were so thankful to be home and not having to stay overnight. It was nice too to have seen quite a few of our friends and visit with them. I have another post about yesterday that I am working on but it's kinda emotional, so it might take a little bit to get up.

I'm so glad to hear your hope and things looked good, lets hope Mondays results bring good news too. I'm not sure I want to read your other post, I hope it's happy "emotional" and not sad "emotional", we only need happy news from you.

I was just thinking about you and sweet little Ben today! I am really glad to hear everything went well. You should have called me so the girls could come over and play. Let's get together!

I am glad that everything went well. We were up there that night and saw Stacy she said that we just missed you. Maybe one day we can have the same clinic day. It would be fun to chit chat. I hope the biopsy results came back with a positive result.
