Almost Done?

The surgeon, Dr. Kouretas, thinks Matt might be done. They have done an echo cardiogram and have measured the pressure in Matt's right ventricle. The pressure has went from 75% to 50%. It is good that the pressure has gone down, but under 30% is ideal. The surgeon is now going to try to close Matt up. They are worried about bleeding. I was told by Bonnie, that if Dr. Kouretas isn't out in an hour to talk to us, that it is due to bleeding. During the next few days, the nurses and doctors will try to pull more fluid off of Matt and hopefully that will bring his pressures down further.
