Dr. checkup

I got so involved in the dress up post I forgot to post about Libbi's checkup! We went to see Dr. Menon at Primarys yesterday and she is still doing good! Her oxygen saturation was 88-91. They like it to be low 80's for her so it's a bit concerning but if it starts to drop soon she'll be ok and he thinks it will because as she grows her hole gets smaller. He wants her to be seen every 2-3 weeks either by him or Dr. Rose, our pediatrician. He gave us a guess as to when her surgery (the Glen) will be and he said at 6 months, which is October. So we will plan on that and if something needs to be done sooner, we will adjust our plan. Until then we will just keep on feeding her and keeping her healthy! She weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz. which means she gained 7 oz in 6 days! That's great, she should gain about an ounce a day! Her prevacid is helping alot, so she must really have reflux. Again we are so thankful for her in our lives, she is a true miracle!

YEAHH!!! GO team Libbi and Mindi!! I'm so glad she is gaining weight and that surgery isn't for a while! What a great time you will have this summer!! Great job!!

This is Paul Cardell's CHD video. (I put it at the bottom of the blog, it fits best there..) It is shocking how many people, young and old are dealing with the same type of things we are. Take 9 minutes and watch, these are some of the cutest babies i've seen!! Libbi is about 6 and a half minutes into the video. (make sure you scroll down and pause my music playlist so you can hear his music, he is a pianist, it is very pretty!)
