Cedie's day today was not much better than yesterday. She is still having problems keeping her CO2 down. She was real irritable and she just wanted to be left alone. She was sedated most of the day and they increased the pressure on her vent.

I spoke with the cardiologist today. He wants to proceed with the cardiac cath & biopsy as planned. She is scheduled to go at 10am tomorrow morning. The entire procedure will take approx. 2 hours. They will be taking measurements of the O2 levels and the pressures within her heart. They will take a sample of her heart that is about the size of a sesame seed. He says that he should be able to talk with us about the findings soon after she gets back to her room (the biopsy results will take longer). Chris, her Nana, her Godmother, and I will all be there for her.
