Part 1 is a success

The cardiac catheterization went perfectly, meaning he doesn't have any collateral veins or arteries and did not need a balloon procedure to widen his pulmonary arteries. Bottom line, his anatomy makes him a perfect candidate for the next stage of surgery and they didn't find anything that would make the surgery an emergency. Now they are doing the electrophysiology study where they look for irregular heart beats. This is the part where they'll decide for sure if Bubs needs a pacemaker. This is also the part where they might have to shock him if they are successful in inducing an irregular heart beat. So good news but we still are on the edge of our seats.
