Cardiologist Appointment

Went to his Cardiologist visit yesterday, and they did an ECHO while we were there; plus other info.

While the overall result of his ECHO looked good, one frame showed there is a chance his aortic arch is starting to narrow again (like it had before his Cath in February). It's unknown whether this is somthing that will correct itself as he grows or if it's a rebuilding of scar tissue that'll need medical intervention to correct in the coming months (6mos or so).

Dr. Kaine wasn't concerned at this time, as all of Tyler's pulses were nice and strong. We go back for another cardiologist appointment on Oct. 15th, 2008.

During our office visit with the Cardiologist and Nurse Practicioner, they gave the 'all clear, go-ahead' for Andrew and I to schedule Tyler's circumcision. We're hoping we can get in sometime late September/beginning October.

Also, we visited with the Nutrition Clinic and discussed options and a prospective plan for what they'll do when he turns 1 year old. There was talk of our Nutritionist making a referral to the Feeding Clinic so we could begin receiving an aggressive approach to weaning from the G-tube. At this point in time, I still haven't received a phonecall from the Feeding Clinic to schedule his first appointment.

Other than all of this, weight gain is adequate for his condition - currently weighing in at 16 lbs 9 oz - and same goes for his length. He is a very proportionate boy, just on the smaller size for his age.
