And ... we're done

I like it when proposed extended hospital stays end in a giant anticlimax.

Rebekah and Jed showed up at Children's this morning at 7am. They gave Jed a glass of knockout juice which made him nice and sleepy, and then they put him under and took him to the cath lab. This was about 8:00. They put the catheter in through his leg up to the heart, looked around, and were able to "insert two devices" into his heart which plugged the holes in there. Around 10:30 they informed us that they were about finished and would be waking Jed up soon, and that his vitals were good. Then the doctor came to us and gave us the good news. We went to his room, and he was lying there, clearly stoned but conscious. He's supposed to keep his leg still for about 6 hours after the procedure, which is a challenge. He'll get a few more residual tests this afternoon (x-ray, blood test), and then he and Rebekah will stay there overnight. But he should be discharged tomorrow and hopefully that'll be the end of it!
