Alexander's cath went well. His cardiologist was able to get information for UNOS the results have informed us that everything appears the same as his last Cath (September 2015); therefore, transplant is still the best route for him.
Upon arriving to the recovery room, the staff gave Alexander a medication to help him rest, as he was very agitated with oxygen saturations dropping into the 30's. Once the medication was turned off, 45 minutes Alexander did it again-becoming agitated and saturations dropping to the low 50"s. 6-7 staff members quickly surrounded Alexander wondering which next step to take, while Wes and I stayed calm. This is Alexander. Always having a difficult time keeping his oxygen saturations up when recovering from a procedure. His cardiologist even warned the staff in the recovery unit. Since he looked so good they all questioned her-asking her "why is he being admitted?". An hour later they realized why.
Once out of recovery and into CV Acute, we learned Alexander had a low fever (99.5). He then fell asleep and after waking up, his temperature was 103.0! Tynenol was given, cold compresses were used and 30 minutes, his fever was down to 99.4. He now has NO fever! Let's hope it stays that way and that he continues to feel better through the night. Home tomorrow. We hope, we hope, we hope!
Keep the prayers and positive thoughts coming. Prayers for a smooth night, for most of us to get some decent sleep and that Alexander can go home tomorrow.
