(1:30p) We are in recovery. All tubes are OUT! The clot was not disturbed and remains in his heart. Cam has to remain on flat bedrest for 4 hours because of the need to use a cardiac catheter to remove the line. A piece of the line nearest the clot actually broke off inside his heart. The cardiac catheter went in through his groin and up into his heart to retrieve that piece. He is intermittently getting anxious and is not overly happy about not being able to sit up or move his right leg. Due to the more invasive procedure, we will be spending the night here at CCMC for observation. We are still in the PACU, but should be heading up to oncology in another hour. Thank you for your prayers!
