Cardiology Appointment

Today we took Everett to his 2nd Cardiology appointment at ACH. His oxygen saturations were at 93% which is fantastic for him, his blood pressure was good, and he weighs a little over 22 lbs so he's still a tiny guy. He had an echocardiogram, and Dr. F said that his heart function looks good and that his fenstration is very small so we are hoping that it spontaneously closes on it's own sometime in the future. Dr. F examined him and said that everything sounds good and looks good based on appearance and the echocardiogram. He told us to take him off of the Lasix (a diuretic) after just giving him doses M, W, F next week, so he'll be on one less medication-woohoo!! He'll remain on Enalapril and Aspirin indefinitely. We go back in 3 months, and we couldn't be happier with the report he received!
