Cardio Update

Doctor said if he called in some drs. and they didn't see her scar they would have no idea that she had a heart repair done. She weighs 11.11 so she is gaining about 5 oz a week. He was perfectly content with that.He said her Echo looked fantastic and that she has a perfect repair! We now only have to go once every 6 months until she is two years old and then once a year until she is full grown. And of course her normal pediatrician follow ups. When he walked in he said "oh my what a porker now." He was so impressed that all the wrinkles are out of her thighs and that she has thighs now. Overall I just left there really pleased and happy. He said the only reason we will be doing the once every 6 is to check the scar tissue to make sure it doesn't close the veins. He said it happens in 1 of every 20 kids.I told him that she has been doing so well that this is the first doctors appointment I got to go to and not have any questions or concerns. Autumn just sat there talking away to the nurses and the doctor. They all wanted to take her home because she was so entertaining and just being so good. Our appt was at 2:30 and we didn't leave there until 5:15 pm. They are so slow it is a little annoying to have an infant there for that long so I was glad she did so well. We didn't get home until 6:30pm and She stayed up for about an hour whinning and drinking then she passed out for....wait for it......5.5 hours! A new record. I of course only got 3.5 of those because I got sucked into watching Hancock that Zack had downloaded and burned to disc for me. Then of course since she slept so well we were up at 5:30 and playing. Mommy was so distracted playing with her that even getting up that early she somehow still left late and was late to work by 8 minutes. At least that was the first time since having her. Pretty good. 1 month of dropping off at daycare and only late to work once. Plus it was pouring down rain. Thats it...I completely blame the rain. Not that we were playing and talking to Daddy.
