The angioplasty was successful. Dr. Zahn took about three times attempts using balloons of increasing size to eventually increase the narrowing to about eight millimeters. His pulmonary artery is about the size of a six-year old! This is good. Small is bad. This should prove to make the forthcoming surgery very successful.While Caleb was in the cath lab, a Miami Dolphins player delivered a Dolphins teddy-bear for him!
Caleb will be observed and tested for the next day or so; we should be able to go home tommorrow.

Whoo!!! You have now idea how happy i am!! it's like watching a suspense movie and you're on the edge of your seat and then something happens and the good guys are safe again and then you sit back and let out the breath you've been holding for the past 45 seconds... wow, what an adventure. I'm glad that Caleb's doing well, and maybe now he'll grow up to be a football player because of the Miami Dolphins dude!! That'd be SO cool!! Okay, i'll stop now...
