Rollercoaster......
Well Colin had his Cath yesterday to put the hole between the Right and Left Atrium's. After the Cath, it appeared that it may have not of helped so we were down and out again last night....Then this morning, for some reason during his examination, Colin's liver was half the size it was two days ago and they are not sure why. He is eating through his tube and they stopped the Milrinone last night to see what would happen. So maybe the hole has made a difference? Last night we discussed potential for Heart/Lung transplant with Dr. Bacha, and mentioned that we weren't there yet, but he would talk it over with the transplant team. We are hoping that we don't have to go that far.........

IF IF IF you need to think of transplant.. I have the name of an organization that helps to fundraise for those kind of things...
