He's done!

Doctor Powell just came in to tell us Koal is finished in the cath lab.  Things went well and he is now having an echocardiogram done to check things out. We should get to see him in about an hour. He said that they were able to place a balloon in (the largest possible for the little man's size!) and stretch the narrowed vessel quite a bit! The pressures they were taking improved by 50% after the balloon, and Dr Powell and the medical team were pleased with today's results. It went from a moderate obstruction to a mild degree. Yay! After the stretching, there is always a possibility the vessels will narrow again, but for now, things look GREAT and there's no need to look toward surgery anytime soon if nothing changes! 

We are sooooooooooooo very thankful for a successful procedure and that they were able to repair as needed in his narrowing vessels. We continue to pray that the vessel remains streched and no new narrowing occurs. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all your continued prayers. Please keep them coming as Koalton recovers here in the hospital tonight, and is released tomorrow.
