Just as Dr. Katial had explained, the second day of desensitization was much easier than the first. My reactions, if any were much milder. Most of the day was quite boring. I worked on report cards on the laptop from my hospital bed and got plenty of doctor ordered rest. I felt so bad for Mom and Dad. I'm sure it was a miserable day for both of them. I tried to get them to go sight seeing or at least go out for a nice lunch, but they wouldn't hear of it.
Dr. Fenster came in for my appointment about mid-morning. He spent time further explaining the information they had about my heart and why he thought the cath was so important. He stressed that fact that at this point they all believed Dr. Carroll would be able to close the hole with a device and the other defect was so minor that it could be left alone. The defects had been so hard to detect in all the scans and tests that they were really believing that they were going to be rather simple for Dr. Carroll to repair. As soon as I was desensitized I would be ready to go!
