The past few weeks Lilly has been acting as if she had an ear infection, so I finally took her in. She had not been running a fever, just had some balance issues and was pulling at her ears.
Took her in yesterday to see Dr. Jeremey Forster in Chippewa Falls. 'Ears look good, she looks good, let draw blood!' Well, tests came back with nothing that would make her dizzy although her Dig' levels were pretty low, 0.08 to be exact (take my word it is low). Which means that her Digoxin dose may need to be increased because she had gotten off the Furosimide 3 weeks ago. At least we found out before something happened. The Digoxin is one of her MAIN heart meds..... yeah it would not have been good!
Anyways, on a lighter note we are up on weight,(7.3kg) 16.1 pounds!!! We have crossed the great 16 pound mark Yay!
Well, that's all for now! I'll let you know when I hear about the meds changing.
We set up this blog to update about Lillyann's struggles and triumphs with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Born March 24, 2009 ~ 1st heart surgery (Norwood) April 1, 2009 ~ 2nd heart surgery (Glenn) July 10, 2009~ G-tube placement September 22, 2009 ... 3rd heart surgey (Fontan) Sept. 11, 2012.
