Elijah is out of the recovery room and in his room. He is sleeping comfortably. They ballooned his stent and coiled quite a few collateral arteries. For some reason his body fights the coils and figures out how to go around the coils, so they had to add coils to arteries they had already done in the past. He still has a bunch of collaterals, most of which are too small to coil. The doctor described them as a nest. Elijah has a major one that is also supplying blood to his stomach, therefore it can't be coiled. Overall, it seems like things went well and we are on a positive path. His pressures were good and he still looks like a Fontan candidate.
Pray for a good night and discharge tomorrow!
