Today was a very big day. We had our Echo Cardiogram and saw a cardiologist. When we arrived they weighted and measured him. He weighed 18lbs, same as yesterday, but he is 29.75 inches long which is 15-25% for height. He is getting longer but slowly gaining weight, our tall and skinny kid. They took his blood pressure, which was normal. This was a relief because at the neuro appt it was a bit high. After we were checked in we reviewed everything with the Dr. She listened to his murmur, but said that it is becoming more faint. The EKG was performed and was normal. We then went to the ultrasound room for the Echo. My precious little guy laid perfectly still on the bed for almost 20 minutes, so we didn't even need to sedate him. I was so amazed and proud of him, he was so brave. After the ultrasound, the Dr came in and gave the ALL CLEAR! She said that whatever is going on with him she is 100% sure that it is not his heart. I am so relieved. Today was a good day and a big step for me. I was so worried that his poor little heart was "broken", but it is normal and strong. I am so happy to have this milestone behind us. They also took blood to check Feritin and iron levels. We will know more about those in a week or so. Next step is the appointment with ENT on the 15th of December.
Noah was able to spend a few hours with Aunt Rachelle and baby Hudson. He was so excited that Aunt Chelle was picking him up from school. Thank you for the help Aunt Chelle!
