Cardiology Visit

Kylee had a visit with her cardiologist today and it was pretty uneventful, which is a good thing.  Dr Herlong said she is doing great.  She is up to 12lb 13.5oz and her oxygen sats were at 90, which is really good.  At her last visit the cardiologist said she would have an echo done, but Dr. Herlong said since she is doing well from a clinical standpoint (meaning she is gaining weight, no change in color, no problems with feeding, etc.)then there was no need to have one done.  Although I was sort of looking forward to see if there were any changes going on in her little heart, I was happy to not have to wait around any longer than we already did and to know she is doing well enough in his eyes is reassuring.  So now the only thing the Dr said to do until her surgery is to keep from getting sick.  This information should be passed along to his nurse/assistant.  For some reason she felt the need to try to kiss Kylee.  I probably wouldn't care too much, but come on it is cold and flu season and lady you work with kids that have heart problems. If they get sick, it is far worse for them than other kids.  I'm guessing she probably doesn't know this seeing as she always refers to my child as "him."  Other than that she is very loving, but just in the wrong way.  We don't follow up with the Dr. until 1 more month, yea!
