Another day done

Our afternoon was full of caths being done and difficult patients.  All the caths were a success.  All 5.  We had three children who came in with very low blood oxygen levels.  These children will be greatly helped by surgery or theraputic caths done in Sept.  There were several very unusual cases, with complicated malformations of their hearts.
There is great fear when you allow you children to go into a surgical suite with people who are strange to you in so many ways.  The tears after successful procedures are contagious, as are the Gracias a Dios prayers verbalized.  All patients were stable when we left the hospital at 8pm.
Our final tally for the day was 5 caths, and 23 echos.  Tomorrow schedule is 2 caths, and who knows how many echos.
We are sitting around the table sharing the day, talking about cases seen and sharing highs and lows.  
Thank you for continued prayers for all.
