Natalie at her first Ranger game(more to come on the Rangers)
Natalie had her heart check up her in Amarillo this morning with Dr. Luckstead. I am sure I have mentioned it before, but we see Dr. Luckstead, a pediatric cardiologist at Texas Tech Pediatrics in Amarillo, in between our Dallas appointments.
Her appointment went great! I have been worried about Natalie not gaining weight, but she finally has hit the 23lb mark and I am so excited. Little milestones are precious in our life. She has also gotten taller, so that I am just over joyed to know she is growing and gaining weight. Cardiac kids sometimes have a hard time growing and gaining weight, because their little hearts are working in over time all the time.
Natalie's EKG was good as well. Dr. Luckstead also checked her oxygen level, which was 80. Now, this is a little lower than it has been, but it is still in the 80s, so I am please.
We go to Dallas at the end of September for her appointment at Children's with Dr. Zellers. She will also get an echo during that visit, which is standard for her.

Glad she had a good visit w/Luckstead. We're supposed to go sometime in the next month or so - I haven't even scheduled it yet! Part of me just wants to not go & wait for the visit in Dallas in January. But I think I would be in big trouble. I just want to go a whole year w/out a cardiology visit! Nope...6 mos. is the longest yet, after almost 9 years - blah!
ReplyDeleteHope you guys are having a great summer! I will call you in the next couple of days to discuss the 5k since you guys are gonna miss the meeting Saturday. I need some input!
Blessings,
