We've had a bunch going on lately, so much so that I will just give snippets of the good stuff and continue to repress the not-so-good..LOL.. There isn't anything that is not so good. We met up with a new heart friend. She flew in for Women's conf. and it was like we had known each other for years. She also brought us some fantastic cup cakes, I need to visit the store. YUMMY.
Yesterday Gator had his limited echo and visit with his Cardiologist. We got better news. It seems that the Dig is working and has slightly improved the function of his heart. We are back on track for the Fontan. We do need to bulk up the dude. He needs to be at least 15 kilos so that he will recover faster from surgery. What a relief. I was really nervous for this appointment. I started freaking out about it way too early. Now I feel totally drained and I am sure it will take a few days to get myself back... While up at the hospital we went to see baby Grant. Gator is two, so now he can go back into the PICU with me. He watched things very closely. I am sure that he knew this place and could remember the sounds and smells. He wanted me to hold him the entire time we were back there. He loved seeing baby Grant. He kept saying "BEEBEES"! He also told him that he needs to get home and get better so that they can have a play date. Grant said he would do his best. Thanks for checking in on us....

glad the news was good, thats always nice. It sounds funny that he needs to bulk up, he's such a chunker already.
Good News is always a releif, I get so worked up for Kylie's appointments also. It is so hard to function until you get the results of the echo. Glad things are improving. Kylie's appt is on Friday so hopefully we will get the good news also. He is such a cutie pie! Yes and bulking him up I have figured out no matter how much our sweet heart babies eat it is never enough.
That is great news! As much as I try not to, I always get worked up before Ethan's cardiology appointments. I think it just comes with being a heart mom. Also, I can't believe that they want him 15 kilos. Thats 33 lbs!! There is no way Ethan will make that, and his MD is tentitavely planning his Fontan for this Fall. Is Gator even close to that weight? If so, great job (and give me your secret)!! Take care!
