12:45 UPDATE

We just met with the cardiologist and have some different news. Brycen remains in GREAT condition and is pitching curveballs to the NICU and Cardiology units here. The cardiologist (can't spell her name) has determined that Brycen does not have "Interruption of the aorta." This is determined because his pulse/ox in his lower extremities is at 98-100. Therefore he is getting "good blood" due to blood traveling through the aorta. What seems to be the problem is (in my terms here) Brycen's heart isn't "valentine shaped." Instead, his aorta "jets out" just after it curves. This veered path could be leading to lower amounts of blood flow that is causing his heart to work double time.

So, the fix now is to perform a 4-D CT scan of his heart. This scan will then be redesigned by a cardiologist into the form that Brycen's heart should take. They will then use that diagram to "reshape" his heart. Due to the complexity of the 4-D, and the fact that the #1 diagraming cardiologist doesn't work weekends, the CT scan will take place on Monday. The cardiology staff will then meet Monday and discuss the procedure and then explain it to us. The doctor told us..."We have the time to draw the best diagram and give him the best care and so we want to do just that. We do this because he can stay stable at this level for weeks."

So we're delayed again, but it's a good delay. You can never complain about the best care in the world.

Thank you for all your prayers! We'll try to post pictures tonight.
