It's been a couple days since we've updated Kate's blog and a lot has been going on. Tomorrow, Kate will be 2-months-old. We can't believe how fast time flies.
Yesterday, Kate had a follow-up appointment with her cardiologist at Primary's. Things went really well and she is now up to 6 lbs. 8 oz. The cardiologist is very encouraged at the rate Kate is gaining weight. We discussed a time frame for Kate's heart surgery and they are confident that she will be ready by 6 months. That surprised us a little, as we were originally looking around 9-12 months. So, that is what we are planning for now.
Today, we had our consult with the surgeon for Kate's Nissen surgery. As we discussed our options with him, the surgeon felt as though Kate is too small at this point to do the surgery. This put our minds at ease because we weren't 100% set on having this surgery in the first place. Right now the reflux is very manageable with medication, so we're just going to watch her and hopefully she will outgrow it. She continues to sleep well through the night...Wahoo!!! She is constantly keeping us on our toes and are so grateful for her.
