Cardiac Catheter Update/Prayers Answered

Luke's procedure went very well!!! Prayers answered!!! A huge sigh of relief!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all your prayers!!!!
Jeremy and I can't thank the Lord enough. We said a Rosary in Thanksgiving with Luke afterwards in his room. It was extremely difficult walking him down to the room holding him in my arms and handing him off to the nurse in charge. Soon we heard good news that the doctors were able to get in easily and then we heard they put the device (a 9mm metal 2 sided mushroom top type of device) in smoothly and right away his pressures dropped from being in the 60's to the 40's (20's are the normal range), which was much better. They were concerned that his CO2 level became elevated and thought he'd stay on the ventilator for possibly an extra day, but his CO2 level dropped back down and he was ticked off having that tube in his throat, so they took it out and he's been fine. He was a little hoarse, but was able to nurse this afternoon and should have his IV out tomorrow. He's required no extra O2 and has been very stable. By this evening he was smiling and coo'ing again (music to our ears).
All of Luke's doctors and nurses are just amazed at how well he did. One NNP today said that she credits all the prayers going out for him. We got many hugs from the staff today.
Jeremy and I are breathing a HUGE sigh of relief, we both had been so stressed and concerned over this, now it's time to work on getting this guy home. Which they are dropping his NO2 (Nitric Oxide) tonight a bit and then will recheck with an Ecocardiogram tomorrow. If it looks good, then they will keep dropping the NO2 until he's off of it and that is the ticket home.
Jeremy and I would like to thank our sponsors for getting Luke and us through this day, first and most importantly is our Lord holding Luke's hand and ensuring everything would be okay. For each of you with your tremendous outpouring of prayers and support. We also want to thank the wonderful medical staff for caring for Luke as if he was their own.
Jeremy and I are beyond words. We can see that Luke is a miracle and what happened today was evidence of that divineness.
Now it's time for some rest as we haven't rested well in awhile. As Luke sleeps tonight, so will we.
