Good afternoon. Wanted to give a recap of yesterday’s heart catheterization procedure.

The procedure itself went well. ENT was unable to come and evaluate her because of their schedule so she will have to see them on another visit.

They didn’t give her a lot of IV fluids during the procedure so between all the blood work they did and the sedation medication, she had a hard time coming out of the sedation. She was very groggy for several hours and her blood pressure was low so we stayed until those things started getting better. They gave her some fluids and as she started waking up more she was able to drink water and ginger ale. Blood pressures were still a little low but stable enough to go home.

When we were getting out of the car at home she said her foot hurt. Once we got settled I took her sock off. Would you tell me why her baby toe is swollen on the same side they put the groin catheter in??? Also the nail looked brown/reddish. I asked her when did it start hurting and she said at the hospital but she was too sleepy to mention it.

So we gave her tylenol, put some ice on it and decided to check it this morning to see how it looked.

This morning it’s still swollen but less than yesterday. Hurts a little when she walks but not as much as yesterday. It almost looks like she bumped into something with her toe and its swollen from that. She said she doesn’t remember bumping it or hitting it on something recently.

So…..I called the cardiac unit to talk to the nurse about it and she had me send some pictures through the patient portal so the doctor could take a look and give some recommendations. Now I am just waiting for a phone call back.

Other than that she is doing fine. Virtual school is in session and its Algebra!! Lord help lol

That’s all I got for now. Have a great day
