Kyleigh Update and today's adventures

4:oo am Kaitlyn woke up sick in bed again.... :(
4:30 am Kaitlyn woke up sick in bed again.... :( bad tummy
5:00am Kyleigh woke up hungry and crying from double ear infection pain
6:30 am Crystal, Kyleigh and mawmaw leave for appt to Duke but Crystal hits mawmaw's car with her van in the driveway ---- OH NO!!!
7:00 am Leaving for Duke --damaged van and all
8:30 Kyleigh's appointment with Dr. Campbell cardiologist
EKG---she was a true champ and lay perfectly still for this procedure
Blood Pressure--- not such a happy camper..couldn't get a true reading
Temperature---fine
Weight -- 6.385kg (equals about 14 lbs)
Height-- 70.8 cm long
Echocardiogram---she was another champ...babbling, smiling, very little fussing, tried to help the tech scan her heart and also tried to eat the cords :)
Results----good heart :) Still has a hole in the upper chambers, called an ASD, but it is very small which is why doctors can't hear it using their stethoscopes but it is there and doesn't seem to be the cause for poor growth

12:00 ENT appointment (running late)
Confirmed double ear infection
Discussed having to use Ciprodex ear drops for next 2 weeks and possibly keep her on the drops long term (on and off) until cleft palate repair

1:40 Heading home but decided to drive around the parking deck like a merry go round looking for the exit, almost got hit by a mean driver backing up out of the exit lane

3:00 Arrive home with a happy baby and call insurance to file claim on vehicles

It's been a long day but so glad to have gotten good news that the whole in her heart isn't getting larger.

We are cleared by 2 out of 4 doctors for cleft palate surgery. Woohoo!!!

That certainly sounds like a busy day. Remember, my mom is around the corner from you if you ever need an hour or two free. She would love it!
