7:00am. Buzzing across the room. Danny's phone was vibrating on the floor. Mine was buzzing from the alerts. 4 missed calls. I panicked. "Danny answer your phone!" While he managed to answer on the last ring, I had a voicemail. "We need you at bedside, your son has taken a turn" was all I heard from it. I rushed over and Danny was able to get some info from the docs on the phone. I met with one of the attendings. Here's what we know. 

At 5:30am Eli had an X-ray taken. His stats got very low. Never exceeded 40%. They couldn't hear the shunt murmer. Positive note, he hasn't had to be revived for any reason. There's plenty of blood flow but not enough oxygen. They are sending him to cath lab to see if the shunt is blocked. He is on the heart/lung machine again. They will be taking blood out to oxygenate it and placing it back in. The dye test in the cath lab will tell us if his shunt is blocked. If so they have some options. Balloon catheter, put in a stent or revise the shunt. This is opening Eli chest again and starting over. If its not blocked the they will plan for other options that we don't know yet. 

Concerns for Eli at this point: organ issues, kidney and liver and brain damage, brain bleeds. 

We don't know the status of his brain function right now. They will asses that once they get a plan going for his heart. 

Pray for Eli.
