Not so great check up

by teri on November 29th, 2010

Gabi had a cardiology check up this morning and she continues to loose weight, so they are going to admit her for a few days.  She is already taking in more calories than a “normal” child because her heart works a lot harder than a healthy one and therefore burns more energy, hence needing more calories…. (enough adverbs for you?). They need to figure out why and where she is burning extra calories. Of course, the biggest concern is her heart failing.

She has been doing so great for the past few months and hopefully they can find the right feed plan for her, but in the meantime, this sucks.  She is so happy crawling around the floor exploring and playing with her brothers and sister. I can’t imagine how difficult this is going to be having her confined to a hospital room.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

love,

Teri

    bring the stroller of course, and I think we still may be able to order gym mats for the little ones room for playing on the floor. do you have one of those rolling walkers? do they still make them? she could stroll the halls. good luck with your inpt stay.
