Heart cath a success!

Henry has made it through the heart cath with flying colors!  When the doctor first came out, he said "There were no surprises"--a good thing.  The vein they were checking is open--exactly how they want it to be prior to surgery.  Still unsure on a surgery date as of now. 

There is a concern about Henry's intestines.  Because of the heterotaxy syndrome, his intestine is oriented the opposite way of most people.  Since the intestine is pretty active as a person digests food, they want to make sure that it won't twist on itself, causing a blockage.  That test should happen in the next couple of days, but at this point David & Dana think it's a (relatively) minor concern and should not affect the scheduling for heart surgery.

Right now they are waiting for Henry to come-to after the anesthesia, but sounds like he did great during the procedure.
