2/6

Yesterday wasn't too busy. We had one major test, the CAT scan. They put an IV in and we headed down to Radiology. Dr. Jennings was present for the dynamic CAT so he could make sure that he got the images that he needed for surgery. The whole process only took about an hour and then we got to go see him in recovery. He came out of anesthesia beautifully. We came back upstairs and he was able to take some stroller rides and play in the play room. We got results back from the spinal x-ray and they saw no abnormalities. The echo came back with no comments as well. Apparently TE Fistula babies can sometimes have what is called Vacterl syndrome which is why they have been very thorough in doing the tests and x-rays. The good news is that everything seems to be coming back with no abnormalities. We are still on schedule for the aortopexy surgery tomorrow along with the bronchoscopy. We will have a meeting with Dr. Jennings and team today to iron out all of the details and get a better understanding of what it all entails. Phlebotomy has already come today to draw blood in preparation for tomorrow. Other than our meeting with Jennings and team I don't suspect we will be doing much more today. Once I find out more information I will keep you all up to date. Thank you for checking in!
