Melissa’s first step to the heart transplant was to have another heart catheterization. It went well, everything is a go from a heart standpoint. The only thing that has changed is the pressure numbers in the Fontan, Two years ago they were 14, now they are 17-18. (this is the pressure back up I earlier explained)
I want to personally thank the team who took care of her. What stood out most in my mind was the peaceful look on Melissa’s face when she came out of the procedure. Melissa said that she felt so comforted and safe with this team. I also felt the same. The bedside manner was calm, reassuring and very understanding of a family who has been down this bumpy road before. Being in this business myself, I felt proud of the care they offered my Melissa and my family. Thank you St. Joseph’s Cath Lab, Luke Lamers, MD., Andy Miller, MD., Deb RN, Angela ,RN, Donna ,RT, Colleen ,RT. Special thanks to Annette, RN who was able to start Melissa’s IV. It takes a great talent and a compassionate heart to care for people and make them feel like you truly love them.
