So, Mom left Tuesday morning just before our first Dr's appointments...but we are all doing fine on our own so far.
The visit to Dr. Jane Hailey (our pediatrician) went well. She was pleased with the girls weight gain and in general...that's was good. We got our questions answered and found it to be a helpful visit over all.
Today we went to see the cardiologist for Lucy. They did another echo cardiogram, and an ECG. The Cardiogram showed that her 'pressure' has gone up from 30 to 60, which is within the range at which they do the first angioplasty. She is still too small to do it though, Dr. Walter Duncan felt that if they were to do the procedure now they would be putting the artery in her thigh at risk because of the tools they would have to use, so they want to see her again in a month to see if she has gained enough weight to do the procedure. (Apparently they could damage the artery causing reduced blood flow the rest of her life.) She is doing well though, at the moment, her heart is coping well so he figures it could wait, we will just have to monitor her.
Despite the news that she will likely have to undergo the angioplasty before too long she is doing well over all and that is good.

Liv,
Just love seeing the pictures of the girls, oh yeah, you too. They look so beautiful. Hopefully they won't be to much older when we get to hold them. Love the writing. Aunt Donna
