Going back to this date is a hard one for me. I hardly have the words or emotional stamina to go through the details again. So, if you want the story, you'll have to check out CaringBridge. :)
Here are some pictures of the day with some brief descriptions.
We arrived at the hospital early so that we would have some quality time with Caleb before his procedure. Since I had done most of the holding earlier during the week, we decided that Jonathan would be the one holding Caleb before he went to the cath lab.
Boy did we get that room busy early in the morning. There were several NICU nurses, a cath lab nurse and Dr. Lozier getting everything ready to take Caleb downstairs. We made quite a spectacle (probably just a glimpse into our future). :)
This is the cath lab. The big arc that you see is an active x-ray machine. There were two of those in the room so they could see into Caleb's heart in "real time" during the procedure. It was amazing! We feel so blessed to be living in 2012 with all the amazing technological advances that have kept our boys alive.
Caleb is back in his room and is getting settled back in.
Caleb only had a tiny incision where they inserted the catheter into his artery.
Our baby boy was still alive. God is so faithful!
It is so emotional for me to look at these pictures and think about that day. It's been almost a month since his procedure and I'm still not able to write about it in detail. We are just thankful for the ways God cared for us that morning in all the details. We were even thankful that Zeke had a quiet day. :)

God has been so faithful during this crazy journey. It is amazing to see their progress despite the odds they have been against! I am eternally grateful for this perspective of life. Jess, you have been so courageous even when you have felt weak, scared, and worn out. Love you! Marcy
