Waiting felt like a lifetime. Then she was repaired, out, home, and now even that feels like quite a while back!
We had Hannah’s two week follow-up this week. She had a chest x-ray which she hates; I think due to the cold, hard surface and me having to restrain her arms : ( I got anxious from her crying since instructions were to not let her go too long as to overstress her heart - !
She had an EKG which is easy peasy. And thankfully the echocardiogram was cancelled since she just had that annoyingly full one just before discharge.
Her cardiologist said she’s looking great - yay! Hannah came off her Lasix [which took fluid away from her heart/lungs] and will continue her Epaned [her one chamber still has a bit high pressure] until her next appointment in two months. At that appointment, she’ll also have a sedated echo [boo] to get a really good look one more time.
Dr. Kimball also let us know that we can let Hannah cry at night as long as we feel fit - she’ll be fine. Whew! So now we won’t jump every time Hannah cries and she can re-learn to soothe herself!
Hannah also had a Help Me Grow appointment this week. The physical therapist said Hannah is doing fantastic despite the surgery setback. She’s already trying to roll onto her tummy [no-no for 4 more weeks] and wants to sit up... My goal for her is to sit on her own by 1-year old. We’re gonna work hard!
