Day 68 - Moving Day

Hi Folks -

We're writing this from Texas Children's Hospital (TCH). Zachary took a ride in an ambulance today. He went from one hospital to another, which was about a mile. Small in mileage, but a big journey. He did really, really well. He stayed awake and smiled at the nurse, nurse practitioner and the respiratory tech who were in the back of the ambulance with him. Mommy got to ride up front with the driver and Daddy followed behind in our car.

TCH is HUGE! There are over 160 NICU beds! Everyone has been really nice and we have never met so many doctors in one day. His heart catheterization is scheduled for tomorrow morning, early. We met two of the doctors, one nurse practitioner and one nurse that will be in the cath lab with him while he has the procedure done. We'll meet the rest tomorrow. It should be a four hour procedure.

Thankfully we are going to be able to stay here overnight in the Ronald McDonald House. What a wonderful volunteer organization. We get our room key at seven tonight and can come and go as needed. We'll be at Zachary's bedside early to spend lots of time comforting him before the procedure.

Please pray that the procedure goes well and that there isn't any major complications and that he doesn't need any other procedures. We appreciate your prayers.

Love to all!
