First Follow up

Yesterday we went back to the cardiologist at UVA for her first check up. Our appointment was at 12:30 and we finally left at 2:50. What a long wait! I will definitely be prepared next time to sit there for a while. She had an EKG done and they said it looked great. They did not do an Echo nor did they check her oxygen saturation levels as I wished they would. Dr. Hamill said she looks great and she is healing fine so he I guess didn't see the point in it. Her next check up isn't until Aug. 27th. She weighed in at 9lbs 12 oz. I asked what an average baby her age should weigh and he said 12-13lbs so we are just a little behind. They dropped her Lasix dose down to once today and once tomorrow then no more. Yeah! Then she will only be on thrush medicine for a few more days then back to normal. She had her first prune juice bottle yesterday. She is so messed up from the lasix that her belly doesn't know what to do. So we will be glad to get off of it finally. She for some reason is back to sleeping only 2 hours at a time at night and really has no interest in sleeping during the day unless you hold her and don't move at all for two hours even then you are lucky if she stays asleep for an hour maybe three to four times thru the entire day. I am almost excited for her to start daycare so we can try to do a schedule with her that we can both be on, not just whatever she wants.
