Elijah had his cardiologist appointment today. The doctor was pleased with his weight gain and said that Elijah was actually in the 10th percentile for height, although he is well below the second percentile for weight. His lungs look better on the xray and we are going to try to scale back on his lasix dosage. Elijah is still showing narrowing in his arch and the blood is flowing the wrong direction through his PA. This can't be fixed until he has his cath and they address the collateral arteries.
All in all it was a good appointment. He was supposed to have a cath tomorrow, but he has been ill. Although he is doing really well and doesn't seem to have the cold anymore, the surgeon wants him to be symptom free for 2-3 weeks before doing the cath. They are looking to reschedule it for January. I'm a little apprehensive because with Noah around, I'm not sure if Elijah will be symptom free for that long and at the right time. It seems that we are constantly battling some little bug in our house. I guess that's what we get for having a preschooler in the house!
