Cath Lab

Graysen was rolled back to the Cath Lab around 7:30 AM. We have a pager and will post updates on the blog as we receive them.

This is our first visit to MUSC where Graysen has been old enough to take advantage of MUSC's Child Life Services. The team is amazing and is focused on reducing stress and making the visit fun. Maybe he will even be well enough to play in the Child Life Atrium tomorrow. Here are a few pictures from our morning:

Dr. Graysen checking Baby Ghost's heart while the doctor checks his heart.
Toys!!!
Graysen decorating his strawberry-smelling anesthesia mask with stickers.
Time to check Iron Man's blood pressure.
The next three pictures are when Graysen was doped up with "silly medince." He could not even sit up by himself, but wanted to keep playing so badly. He fought the medicine very strongly and never did quite fall asleep. Here are pictures of him playing while continually falling down.
Graysen and Iron Man looking at the doctors as they roll him down to the Cath Lab.
Just a few notes...

1) It has been two years since Lee and I have been at MUSC. A lot has changed in that time, some for better and some for worse. For example, the cafeteria is modern and great, but I am very disappointed that 7-C's waiting room has been eliminated. That is where one of us was planning on camping out since I cannot imagine both of us fitting on the little "sofa" that is usually in a 7-C room. I am not sure what we are going to do tonight, but I really do not want to pay for another night in a hotel. We'll see...

2) Call my cell phone if you need to contact Lee. His phone self-destructed sometime in the middle of the night.
