Cardiology Appointment

After three months it was time for GJ to visit his cardiologist Dr. N. It was harder to get a good reading of his EKG because GJ decided to check what is going on, and he was a little bit anxious to get it done and play. He maintained his weight of 36 lbs which is good. He also cheated a little bit when taking his height, but I gave the nurse a heads-up that he will cheat and tip-toe later. He actually did cheat and if the nurse didn't watch the scale going up very slow we would even noticed it, I think it was funny hahaha. Blood pressure from the right side of his extremities are normal, but we could get a good reading on his left side again he was anxious to go and play again. GJ O2 went up to 99% again, and we're just happy to see his numbers and pinkish toes and fingers.

When Dr. Nowlen came in to the room he was just amazed how well he looked. Us too were excited to tell him how great his progress over few months after the heart cath. Dr. N thought that it will not be possible to close the fenestration that they put during the fontan procedure. But I they did closed it and Gj has been doing so well even since. PINKISH color of his fingers and toes! GJ will be off some medications in few months and will leave three kinds of medication for the rest of his life. So far we have seven different kinds of meds. I am quite excited for him to get off some of them. 

He will be seeing the cardiologist in six month window now! Yehey! Anyway, overall, it was another great visit and Dr. Nowlen was happy to see him progressing well. 

THANKS A LOT DR. NOWLEN
