We\u2019re breathing a big sigh of relief. Jake\u2019s cardiac cath is complete, and he did absolutely amazing. On the positive side, the team was able to successfully close collaterals making Jake more prepared for transplant. But they also found an issue: his pressures are unfortunately higher than they were back in April. Right now, Jake is in recovery. We will be waiting to hear from the team next week after they discuss the Cath results and make a plan moving forward. But for now, our focus is just on resting and recovering here in St. Louis. we truly cannot thank you all enough for the prayers, messages, and emotional support you\u2019ve wrapped us in during this stressful week. We felt every bit of it, and it carried us through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
