Matt and I discussed things and decided that Vanderbilt would be our choice for Elizabeth. Right now the PICU doctor plans to talk to Cardiology here and ensure that Vanderbilt is completely aware of her issues and ensure a plan of action is prepared. We are waiting for that discussion to happen and then plans to transfer will begin. We have been assured that Pulmonolgy at Vanderbilt is onboard with what the lung specialist at Cincinnati has recommended as far as her lung disease goes, so we know that we will get the same treatment with regards to that no matter where we go. We were also told that Vanderbilt is just as good of a choice for Cardiology as Cincinnati, so we are hoping thats the case. Both hospitals have great doctors and facilities that will be available for a high risk cardiac cath, if she ends up getting it. One possible issue is that as of last night Vanderbilt's PICU was full, if thats still the case and they dont have room for her, then we will try for Cincinnati. So basically we made a choice but still not sure where we will end up :-/
I will update more as we find out, but since its already 4pm here I doubt much else will be accomplished today.
