London had her heart catheterization on Feb 16th. We checked her in at 6am that morning, and they had her all prepped to go in for surgery at 9am. They gave us a pager and told us to walk around the hospital and they'd page us when she was done. They said it should take about 3 hours, but 1 1/2 hours later we got a page! She did so great. The doc brought us into the x-ray room where he showed us a video of the x-ray as they were placing the device into her heart to close the duct. They let me go back and see her first because she was still coming out of her anesthesia. It was sooo sad seeing her like that. For a couple hours after, she was sleeping the whole time, then she started coming around when my parents stopped by the hospital around 2. They she was all smiles, kicking, and ready to be picked up! She had to lay flat until 3pm though. They told us that we'd be spending the night since the beginning, but around 6, they let us go home! She was doing even better than expected. She was completely back to normal, and is doing great. You can't even see the incision on her leg anymore.
