Hanging out with Dad before being sedated. (He definitely did not get Vongs coloring lol)
We went up to Primary Childrens today to get another echocardiogram. His cardiologist wanted him to be sedated this time so he wouldn't move around so much (the last one he did pretty well, but he got kind of restless at the end) I was a little nervous for him to get sedated because he is still so little :( luckily when we got there the NP said she didn't think we needed to completely sedate him, so she gave him a couple of medications to relax him, and then one to help him fall asleep. Poor guy SCREAMED his head off getting his iv put in :( it was so funny watching him fall asleep. The first medication just made him really relaxed so he slowly stopped freaking out and just stared off into space lol! 
Roman just trying to fight it of course!
During the echo! It's pretty cool to be able to see his heart.. Technology is unreal now days.
Waking him up after, poor guy was so out of it.
After his echo we went over to the out patient center to meet with his cardiologist. Is it weird that I feel so at home there haha. Everyone that is there has something going on, more than half the kids in the waiting area are on oxygen, no one stares... It's nice. We met with Dr. Lal, he told us everything is looking really good. He said they won't actually have to do anything to his Aorta during his surgery, they originally thought they would need to widen it, so that's good news. We don't have a surgery date set yet. He is going to review Roman's pictures with his team and they will decide if they want to do his surgery at 4 months or wait closer to 6 months. We think it would be nice to wait so he is a little stronger, but at the same time it would be good to do it sooner to get it over with.
In other updates we got him weighed!
9 lbs 1oz and 20inches long. Still just such a little peanut. :)
