Echo for next Wednesday

Thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers over the last few days. I have her next appointment on Monday with the pediatrician and Wednesday have a followup echocardiogram to see how the flow in Brynn's heart is. I canceled our homestudy appointment for today because of course I can't think of anything but Brynn at the moment, and of course won't move forward with anything until we know Brynn is A-OK. She is my main focus for right now and there isn't anything I wouldn't do for my little girl! She seems to be doing okay and wanting to eat and feed like a champ - so for that I'm grateful. I'm just ignoring the fact that her hands and feet turn blue while she does so and marching forward one day at a time. They are only basing the fact of a a likely VSD due to the murmer that has been heard at previous visits as well as the location. Also slow weight gain is common which Brynn has certainly had despite the massive amount of food the chow hound eats! So for now that's all, one step and one day at a time, right? Great news is that the kiddo fits well into her 3 month sleepers at last and is rolling over finally a ton. She also is loving her homemade bananas and applesauce.Hubby weighed her and she was well over 12 pounds...I know it's not a ton for a 6 month old...but it sure is progress for Brynn. It's the little things that count of course! For those I am so thankful.

Less then one week....phew.

You are right, the little things are what matters. Brynn is going to be a peanut, and that is a-ok. I would rather my quickly growing children slow down just a little so I'm not constantly moving them up in sizes.

Go, Brynn! I was always tiny too.

I will keep my fingers crossed until Wednesday.

I hope you get some good answers with the echo etc. Glad you don't have to wait too long as I'm sure this is incredibly stressful.

Oh no, I'm so sorry -- I hope everything goes ok with her tests.

Aunt Becky said...

Sending prayers, little ladies. Love to you three.

(If Brynn has a VSD, she will totally kick it in the a**. Because she is that kind of girl)

Just want you to know, I'm thinking about you. No matter what the diag, I think she'll pull through like the lil champ she is. She gets that from her mama.

I hope your little lady is OK...I was always a teeny thing- 5lb 8oz at full term, and wore 3 mos clothes until 6 months. I hope her appt goes OK!
