Growing at Home

We have been at home for more than a week now! (This was one of my personal goals -- to be away from the hospital for at least a week this time.) Lynnea had a doctor's visit on Friday with her regular pediatrician, and today she went to the U of M for an echo cardiogram and check-up with one of her cardiologists. She is growing nicely -- she now weighs 8lbs. 5oz. Her echo cardiogram looked good -- her heart function is still good; the only concern was that the bands that were placed on her pulmonary artery are beginning to tighten a bit, but this was expected to happen as she grows. I don't know if this means that they will have to go in and loosen them before the next stage surgery, or if they will just monitor it closely and leave them alone until she is big enough for the next stage. We should know more next Monday when she goes in for her next visit at the U of M (she goes weekly now for echo cardiograms and visits with cardiologists).
