I took Tyler to CMH Cardiac Clinic at 1:30pm today for his first post-op visit with Dr. Kaine since the Glenn, and thankfully there is nothing major to report! We had an ECG done, but not an ECHO. I believe they are going to wait until his July appointment to do that.
I really had no particular compaints or concerns for the doctor today. Tyler's sweatiness has decreased a great deal when sleeping or eating and his activity level is good. He's not fussy and I really think he's over the hump of being too awful sore. He was cheerful and happy during the appointment and even caught a short nap while we waited to be seen!
His current medications include Digoxin 0.6 mL b.i.d., Captopril 5 mL three times/day, Aspirin 20 mg daily, Lasix 0.7 mL one time/day, and Zantac 3.3 mL two times/day.
Today he weighed 7.126 kg (15 lbs 12 oz). His pulse was 111, respirations 24, oxygen saturation was 80, and blood pressure 107/63. He is relatively pink and well perfused and his lungs were clear. Femoral and peripheral pulses were all easily felt! His incision as a whole is healing well. The part of the incision that was infected with pseudomonas has a little bit of delayed healing compared to the rest, but is still healing very well. So in a nutshell, Tyler basically had a great appointment, and Dr. Kaine is pleased with Ty's Glenn result.
