Concerns...

Matthew's oxygen saturation has been dropping over the past several days and has dipped into the mid 50's several times over the last 18 hours. Amy has been on the phone with the cardiologist office several times today, but the cardiologist isn't in and the nurse she has been talking to seems to think it's probably just the pulse ox machine acting up. We're not convinced of that so Amy is taking him into the office this afternoon just to use their pulse ox machine and see if he really is dipping into the 50's.

We don't know what they'll do if the office measurement confirms his saturation level is in the 50's. We're guessing that they'll admit him and do the heart catheterization in the next few days. It's times like this that are so scary because we don't know the right thing to do. Do we go with the nurses hunch that it's the machine or do we push back a little and say we need a better answer? We're going to try for a better answer.
