Dr. appointment

Kaylee had her cardiologist appointment the other day. It went so well I nearly was in tears!! Yes, it was that amazing!!! Kaylee's cardiologist, Dr. Stern, said he was very pleased with how her heart sounded. He said she no longer needed to be on her lasix which means no more heart medicine at all!! That may not sound that amazing, but trust me it is! It is such a relief to know I no longer have to worry about medicine schedules, refills, and waking up to Kay's extremely full pee pee diapers (side effect to lasix). And of course it will make Kaylee's life so much easier! I am so thrilled to know that Kaylee's heart is healthy enough that we don't have to rely on medicine to keep up the function of her heart. Her cardiologist even said that he would be surprised if she ever needed another surgery!!! (That's the part that made me a little teary eyed hehe!) Kaylee is on iron supplements only because her hemoglobin was low when we were discharged. She will only need to be on the supplements for a few more weeks so thats not too bad. But overall I am OVERJOYED with the news from her doctor..Words cant even begin to explain how I feel. BUT unfortunately there is a downside to this post. Kaylee has been experiencing nightmares since she came home from the hospital. Just about every night she wakes up at least once in a screaming fit. It takes at least twenty minutes to calm her down. Its pretty heartbreaking, who knows what shes dreaming about!! I did some research and found that the nightmares are normal and she should be back to normal in two to three weeks, so lets pray and hope for her to get back to her normal self!!!!! Thank you everyone for your support in our tough times. Its so comforting to know that so many people care and love us <3
