Cath Lab

Arden's doctors decided at morning rounds today that they are scheduling her cath lab for friday morning. She didn't gain any weight from yesterday so they are just being cautious and scheduling the lab now since a decline in weight gain is a warning sign of needing the next surgery. They are hoping she isn't emergantly taken to the lab and that she will gain some weight today so she makes it to Friday. In case the cath doesn't work or shows that they can't wait, her Glenn might be as early as next week - a month before they wanted it. Elliot and I will be traveling down to Arden this week to be there for Friday and through the weekend. Thankfully the H1N1 rule stipulating children under the age of 16 are not allowed in the hospital has been lifted so Elliot will get to come into Arden's room and be with her!
