Although Roscoe isn't back to the level of stability he had on Saturday when he was at 50% oxygen, the pulmonary hypertension team has tentatively scheduled him for the cardiac catheterization tomorrow. He will have a big day tomorrow if all goes as planned, because in the morning he'll start out with his lung scan, then move to the cardiac catheterization, then possibly get a bronchoscopy too (to check for airway obstructions or other issues).

Oxygen 67%, Nitric Oxide 2.5ppm
Roscoe had another night and morning of mild progress. His oxygen was weaned from 70% to 67%, his nitric oxide was weaned from 10ppm to 2.5ppm, and his base breathing support pressure was weaned from 6 to 5 (which will make the breathing support easier on his lungs). Here's a video we took yesterday with him resting, which is how we see him most of the time now:
