Colby's little heart buddy, Cain, needs your prayers right now!! For those of you that don't remember, Cain was born 2 months ago. He has the same defects as Colby plus an additional defect called Transposition of the Great Arteries. Cain underwent his first surgery, the BT Shunt, at only a week old. This is the same surgery that Colby had back in October. Over the last several days, Cain's parents noticed his sats trending downwards, so they took him in to see our cardiologist. After an echo, chest x-ray, and EKG, Dr. Liske determined that they might want to go ahead and do his Pre-Glenn catheterization. This is the first step to having the Glenn Surgery performed.
They have scheduled Cain's Pre-Glenn Cath for tomorrow. All of this is happening very fast, so it is of course very scary for Catherine and Brad. They will stay overnight in the hospital after the cath procedure. If the cath shows that the Glenn is needed now, they will have to stay in the hospital and Cain will unfortunately undergo this second heart surgery sometime next week. The Glenn is normally performed between 4 and 6 months, but little Cain may have to experience it a little early. Please keep them in your prayers!! Hopefully, Cain's cath will show that he can wait on the Glenn for several more weeks.
It would be great for you to visit Cain's blog and offer your encouragement to Catherine and Brad right now. I'm sure they would really appreciate it! Their blog address is: http://www.clinkscalesfamily.blogspot.com/.
