Two years ago we were at the hospital about to deliver our first daughter. Oh how things change in two years :) We cannot believe how big our oldest daughter has gotten. We are very excited to celebrate her birthday (after getting some sleep hopefully). She is such a great daughter and sister - she wouldn't be a big sister if she wasn't so wonderful :) We are very blessed!
Today we had our cardiologist appointment for Audra. The good news is that everything looks good, and our cardiologist actually said "great". She said that everything looks best case for HLHS and made me cry in a good way. Audra even gained another ounce! Dr. C is calling over to UofM to schedule our next surgery in the end of July or August. We should receive a call in the next two weeks. I cannot believe that we are already talking about surgery number two! Of course, just because we schedule it doesn't mean the date won't change. But it would be nice to have a date to try to plan for.
And for the not so good news - Dr. C was not happy that Audra still has her feeding tube. She says that we cannot leave it in indefinitely. She mentioned that we may have to consider a g tube, which is a tube that is inserted directly into the stomach by another surgery. It would require another hospital stay. Now at this point it is still just a possibility. We are going to meet with a GI doc in a week from Monday to see if we can help Audra before having to go the g tube route. You gotta do what you gotta do but it sure would be great if we can figure this out!
In response to this threat, my husband got Audra to take an entire bottle!!! This was her FIRST time finishing a bottle. Of course, she followed up this performance with only taking one third of her bottle. Ugh. She does not like to eat when she is tired. Speaking of tired... I am the only one awake... Too excited about celebrating :)
