Visit to the Cardiologist
/So, last visit to the cardiologist (which was a couple weeks ago) we learned that Hazel was 10 lbs 7 oz. She had a great weight gain since the last visit. Hazel jumped up a percentile on the growth chart. Now she is in the 50-75 percentile for weight, when she was on the 10-25th (at one point she was on the 3rd). Way to go Hazel!!! She is 59 cms long, 3 and a half cms growth in 4 weeks. The doctor is very impressed by her weight gain and continues to praise her for her efforts. The staff in the doctors office ensure us that Hazel is always a pleasure to see. She brings a smile to their faces every time! While giving her her heart ultrasound, they did notice that Hazel has a muscle developing in the right side of her heart due to the overexertion. This muscle is helping her right now, so it is not a problem, but will definitely need to be surgically corrected along with the hole. We are still patiently waiting to here when the surgery will be, but the doctors are confident that Hazel is doing wonderfully and are not worried about her. So...
We will carry on enjoying our little angel and making sure that she is eating and gaining the weight that she needs to in order to stay above the curve and on the right track. Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers, we would not be where we are today if it wasn't for all of your positive energy and thoughts!!!
