Monday

It's hard to believe that's it been almost a year since Katie's surgery. (It was December 13th) We are driving up to Boston tomorrow for the follow up angiogram at Boston Children's on Monday.

Here is the wiki definition:)

Typically a catheter is inserted into a large artery (such as the femoral artery) and threaded through the circulatory system to the carotid artery, where a contrast agent is injected. A series of radiographs is taken as the contrast agent spreads through the brain's arterial system, then a second series as it reaches the venous system.

I obviously don't feel quite as nervous as last year, but it's still a little nerve racking. She will be asleep for the procedure and I think has to lay flat for 3 hours post procedure. She had one last year before the surgery, and did surprisingly well staying flat for 3 hours. Hoping she does as well this year!! Thankfully she likes to watch TV so we brought a ton of DVD's and there is a TV at the bedside.

Please just keep her in your thoughts and prayers. We are so much stronger because of all of you!!
