Still blood pressure issues. Some urine output, but not much. Huge debate about possible causes – everything from a problem in surgery to a congenital defect. Various drugs tried and stopped and retried.
The cardiologist from WCH came back over at about 3pm and did a cardiac echo, to give a ‘real time’ check. Basically, he said that the clip on the duct is pinching or pressing on the aorta, possibly impeding the blood flow slightly. He also said it shouldn’t be a problem and it should right itself (the flow and the blood pressure issues). If further surgery is required, they’ll wait until he is much bigger.
Big relief for us, but I do want to hear from the paediatrician.
