The nitrate they administerd last night did not work. The medical team believes that this must mean there is an obstruction somewhere.

As soon as possible, they will be performing an echocardiogram to get images of Michael's heart. Depending upon what they see, they will: perform another catherization in hopes of looking more closely at the heart, operate again, or continue to search for medical, non-surgical ways to determine the issue. Unfortunately, Michael's lungs have water in them so they will also be looking at how to best drain them.

Michael's saturation and heart levels are good. The hope is that the swelling will go down once the obstruction is discovered.

Meg and Tommy, devoted and doting, have not left Michael's bedside. He is surrounded by love here and around the world. God bless this amazing wonder.

Meg and Thomas,
I know Michael is holding on for you and being there is a great comfort for him. Please remember to keep up you strength by eating and getting some rest. He will need you when he wakes and during his recuperating period.
We are with you all the time. Feel our warmth hugging you all the time. We are checking the computer every 1/2 hour for updates. Love you.
