Today we went to see Dr. Rio's at Children's Heart Clinic. Ellie weighed 8 lbs & 2 oz. She was 21 inches tall. They took both her upper and lower blood pressures and they were in range. Her oxygen level was 100% and her pulse was good. We are able to lower her lasiks to once per day with it ending in 7 days. Once her antacid medicine ends we are done with that unless she shows signs that she needs it still. She will stay on the blood pressure medicine for a few more weeks. They will reevaluate that at her next appointment which is Monday, May 16th. That day they will do a full work up. EKG, Echo and whatever else.
When we left Robert and I gave each other a high five as we both were very happy that Ellie is basically a baby with a clean bill of health! We still have to be careful holding her so we don't bother her chest bone as that is still healing for another 3 weeks.
