An Eli Update

Well, we have been here in SLC since Thursday evening. Things are going well. Currently we are chillin' in the Ronald McDonald House, in our amazing room. Love this place. 

Eli's cardio cath went well yesterday. We checked in at 8am, and they started the process at 9:30am. We were expecting a 3 hour wait, but instead it only took an hour and 1/2! The cardio cath is an important part of preparing for the surgery. They strung a wire and tube through the groin artery to the heart, took pictures, measured pressures, and took some video of the heart pumping. Matt and I saw what they took afterward--pretty amazing stuff! 

The main surgery will take place Monday morning. We will be checking in a 6am! Thank you all for the continued support and prayers. We do appreciate them more than you will ever know.

I can't read these posts without tearing all up. Little boys are the best. What a special little boy your Eli is. Our prayers are with you and our thoughts. It was so great to see your little guy a few weeks ago. He is so adorable. I hope everything goes perfectly on Monday.
