We had a good visit from our home care nurse as Audra finally started to gain some weight. It seems that we have not been giving her enough milk. Now that she is nursing some, she gained weight! Hooray! This is such a huge relief and hopefully a trend that continues along with her good nursings.
Audra absolutely HATES to get her blood pressure taken. Our nurse has to talk with our cardiologist because of the stress that this puts on Audra and the abnormally high readings these cry-fest readings produce. Hopefully this improves.
At the end of our visit from our home care nurse, she was singing our praises. She said how well Audra was doing and even said she is the "best baby with this condition that she has seen in her 30 years as a nurse." And no, I didn't ask how many other HLHS babies she has cared for. We will take the compliment and run with it :)
Also, for those of you playing along at home, our neighbors are still not back in their house after 8 months of construction that was supposed to be done in December. I predicted that Audra would be home with us before they made it back and fortunately, I was correct. Now if this stupid construction would just be done, I could stop complying about it ;)
Finally for today, thank you for all the continued support. We cannot say often enough how fortunate and blessed we have been and continue to be and you all are a huge reason for this! So thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!
Great news!! Go Audra Go! <3
