Home Sweet Home....

Just realized I better do an update and tell everyone we did make it home.  Reagan's stay overnight in the hospital following her cath was uneventful and so last Thurs. morning she had a lung profusion scan and then she was discharged.  We took it easy that day and the next to allow her to catch up from her cath.  Then on Friday night, the boys (Nolan & Rod) were able to go to a Giants game

and the girls (Reagan & Jen) stayed in for a girls night in the hotel.

Room service and a movie

Then on Saturday we flew home.

This is actually from our trip out, but Reagan did the same thing on both flights- slept!!

Here are a few pics from our trip:

Acting crazy

Just relaxing

Morning of cath, all dressed and waiting to go

How we left our baby girl in the cath lab after watching her be put to sleep with the mask

Our friends Anna & Hunter who we met last summer.  Hunter boy (whose heart is not fixed yet) was in the hospital for a dehydration issue and so we got to visit them while Reagan was in the cath lab.  Anna's husband, Rob, is in the Marines & so we share a common bond in two ways.

Discharge day- so happy to be out of that place

Ready to party

The greatest son & big brother in the world!

I know it's alot of pics but since I couldn't add them all week, I had so many to choose from.  Oh well!

It wasn't until we got home that I was able to read over Reagan's cath report and actually read the numbers.  I was quite shocked to find that her coronary artery that the cardiologist was so concerned about and therefore ended up ballooning only measured .35 mm instead of 1.4mm.  After the dilation, thankfully, it now measures 1.2mm.  I am so thankful she had the checkup when she did because if that artery were to have closed and cut off blood supply to her heart, she could have a massive heart attack.  I am also thankful to the doctors who commit their life's work to these kids and use their talents to intervene and help them.  Thank you Dr. Perry, Dr. Hanley & many others!!!

It is now our prayer that as Reagan grows, her vessels will grow with her and not continue to narrow so that she can get adequate blood supply to all the important areas of her little body.  She is such a fighter and miracle!  Rod and I stand in awe of her daily.  Because of that tough spirit of hers, however, she keeps us on our toes and is already 4 going on 14.  I pray by her teenage years, her heart will not give us trouble as she will probably be full of it herself!!

Thanks again to all for your prayers and support through this journey!

-Rod, Jen, Nolan & Reagan
