Joseph has everyone's attention in the NICU. He is watched closely. One of the NICU doctors did not like the blood pressure numbers and it still was puzzling as to why his heart condition became so problematic so quickly. He asked that they run another test. They found an additional problem in his aorta. It is a narrowing called "Coartation." This narrowing is making his heart condition that much worse. It is fixable and they will correct it at the same time they fix the rest of his heart. Things made more sense and they adjusted his medications accordingly. This helped him stabilize more but he is still in a very serious condition. They are going to transfer him to the Cardio-Thorasic ICU tonight to help prepare him for surgery. At this point he will have surgery Monday or Tuesday.
