Friday morning on the run...

The hallway was full again as we arrived at Cemisa Hospital for the day's clinic.  Today will have Dr. Zeller doing 5 cath procedures.  The list for echocardiogram evaluations continues to grow.  Little Kensy is the first case to do a cath on.  I am excited to report that the procedure was a success!  Immediately following the surgery, her oxygen levels went from the 40's to the 70's.  God is good!  His hands are working through everyone involved.
We have seen several babies this morning.  Several of them will just be watched as they grow.  Their heart defects are not severe enough to need intervention at this time.
We have seen a set of sisters.  Claudia is 17 and Dilcia is 15.  They both have atrial septal defects.  Claudia's will be repaired in September.  Dilcia's is a little more complicated, but attempts will be made to repair her's also.  Mom stated that they both have been so sick since they were small.  A doctor had told her what the problems were, but never told her there was possible way of fixing the problem.  She left very hopeful for both girls. 
It is now 11:30a.  We have completed to caths and 10 echos....the day continues.
