Believe it or not we are still waiting for the results from the liver biopsy. They are feeling good enough about it to try and schedule Kelsey for a cath-lab to test her lung pressures before heart surgery. Probably Thursday. We're still not sure it's necessary but think they want to have it done anyway. There's a very, very, very small chance they can do a procedure during the cath-lab to close the hole but they really don't think her situation will work for this type of procedure. If all goes well with the cath-lab her heart surgery could finally be next week!!!!
They tried to take her off the ventilator and she didn't do so well. In fact, it looked like her lung was collapsing again, so, she's back on the ventilator. I guess she will stay on it until her surgery, so I hope it's soon!!!! We hate it because we can't hold her. They tested for the virus again and she was neg but she needs two negatives in a row before they will let us go in the room without mask/gown/gloves. So, they will test again tomorrow.
We're back to this waiting game with Kelsey. Please pray for patience for momma and daddy, pray Kelsey will tolerate the ventilator until we know more about what's next for her and pray for the doctors to make the best decisions concerning Kelsey.
Thanks again for reading Kelsey's update and for all the prayers.

I hope everything goes well in the cath lab so Kelsey can move on to her surgery.
