In and out, like the burger

I wanted a cap like the doctors wear, so here I am...

So I had my Cath done yesterday. We had to check in at 6:30 and I was supposed to start at 8. We actually didn't start until 9:30. I was done around 2 and got moved over to Doernbecher's at around 9pm. I was feeling pretty decent but all I wanted to do was go home last night and every couple of hours I made sure to let Mom and Dad know it. But now I am home and uncomfortable but at least it's not being at the hospital. The doc coiled some more collateral blood vessels to help improve the blood flow to other parts of my body. Now we have to wait and see what the doc and other docs decide. They are supposed to be having a round table discussion in the next couple of weeks and decide then. So until then, I go back to my normal routine of being a stink butt. Love you all, Ayden

Another trip, another Cath...

Yes, the time has come. I have another Cath scheduled, on Tuesday the 9th at 8am. Way to early to be up, especially for something like this. I mean if we were going to Disneyland, I could understand it... Anyways, wish me luck that it won't take too long and I will be back to my cantankerous rambunctious self before you know it. I love you all, Ayden.

PS this will be I believe my seventh Cath.

Long time no post

Hey all,

Bet you thought I had forgot about you. Never gonna happen. This last week has been kind of a mess for me. Friday, I came down with a fever and had it all the way through Monday. On Sunday, I coughed up a nasty looking thing. Here is what it looks like.

According to my cardiologist, this could be a cast of my trachea. He is wondering if I have what is called plastic bronchitis. Now I know that anyone who reads this will probably Google the term and get scared. I don't know if I have this, it is possible. Anyways, I had an echo yesterday and the doctor said that nothing had really changed other than the previous stuff. As for this stuff, the doc is going to order some tests to be done in the next couple weeks, along with a cardiac cath. I will be hopefully looking at just an overnight trip. Any ways, please wish me luck and keep me and my family in your thoughts. I will let you all know more when I find out. Love you all, Ayden
