A little explination of the cath images below for those who don't have MD degrees. Lol.
The first was was taken in January right before her surgery when she was 6 months old. It shows what the surgeon at Tulane did to repair her coarction of the Aorta when she was 2 weeks old. It kinda looks like a nub.
The 2nd is the cath we did a few weeks ago right before this last surgery. It shows more of a ball shape to the Aorta. That is what they did in January for her second surgery to rerepair the Aorta. They did a complete repair and reshape of the Aorta, which is why her surgery in January took longer for her to recover from. And also the reason they could not do the VSD repair. They did a lot to her little heart on that surgery.

Thank you God that she is all fixed now.
