Today went well. Mac was incredibly cranky this morning after resting little and eating less than normal. By the time the nurses got to their poking and prodding he was not to be messed with. That said, he made it through both procedures with flying colors. We were home just four hours after we checked in.
Mac is a champ. More to come when we have the time.
Thank you so much for all your care and concern. This was a minor hurdle, but we're glad to have cleared it.

About McKay
Mr. McKay is a miracle. He was diagnosed with a soup of congenital heart defects while still in utero including: double inlet left ventricle (DILV), Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA), a large ASD which has now been modified to create a single atrium, pulmonary atresia, and dextrocardia. He has undergone a series of three open heart surgeries to reroute his plumbing into a flow more likely to meet his growing body's demand for oxygen. He is post BT Shunt (August 22, 2008) and post-Glenn (November 25, 2008), and most recently traveled cross country to have the Fontan procedure at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (July 9, 2010). Today, McKay is a growing near-three-year old challenged with developmental hurdles we are anxiously trying to help him overcome. McKay offers heart baby hope of the most robust proportions. This blog chronicles our adventures.

Hooray for another success! I was just talking to someone who didn't talk until she was three, and then she started speaking in full sentences! She said she really was saving up until she felt like talking, and then she had a lot to say. I can't wait to hear what Mac has been holding in all this time:)
So glad to hear it! Hopefully, today is a little better and "Momma" is right around the corner. :-)
