So Kylee went to see the cardiologist for checkup today because she seems to get more tired when eating. Everything checked out good- weight is up to 12lbs 6 oz and her oxygen saturation was at 88% which is around what she has been averaging. The tiredness probably is due to her congestion that she has had. We have a tentative surgery date at Duke for January 11th unless she needs it earlier or the surgeon feels she is well enough to wait until closer to 9 months. She will need to be in the hospital for 2-3 weeks depending on how she does. She followed up with the ear,nose, and throat dr. yesterday because she had originally failed her hearing test in her left ear and they believe it is due to fluid in the ear. The last visit he had talked about possibly placing a tube in that ear. Well he said that when she goes for her heart surgery they will try to look in her ear then and see what is going on because it is really difficult to get a good look due to the really small ear canals down syndrome kids have. Since she doesn't appear to have problems with hearing then we don't feel the need to rush it.
So at the drs today Kate was having Phil draw pictures on the etch a sketch and she wanted him to draw a squirrel which he did and she said "no, no you forgot to draw his nuts. he has 2 nuts"
