Day 72 - Cardiac check-up

Jessica had her cardiac check-up this afternoon and we were pleased to be told that her heart function is stable.  She is gaining weight beautifully and getting taller and her oxygen saturation levels are remaining around 78-80 which is normal for her.  With the appointments being spaced out, the changes in her development between them become so clear when watching her playing with the toys in the waiting room and interacting with the other children.  It is so lovely to see how much she uses her imagination now and how far she has come over the last couple of years.

Cardiac check-up

Had Jessica's cardiology check-up today. They are quite spaced out now (about every five months) which I guess is quite a good sign although the community nurse visits us once a month to check Jessica's oxygen saturation levels and weight. All seems to be well today - Jessica's sats were a little low initially but then picked back up to the usual levels. She was very chilled out during the heart scan (having a DVD playing was very good distraction!) Apart from not being able to get a good view of Jessica's lung arteries, all looked good on the scan.
