Mylah had her first Pediatrician appointment today.
She did really well!
The Dr. was informed of all of her heart problems and her surgery.
He was impressed that she came home 6 days after her surgery.
She is definitely our little miracle baby!
She weighs 7lbs. 10 oz. and is 20 inches long.
Almost back up to birth weight!
The Dr. refferred her to a Urologist to have her kidneys checked out.
She goes there next week.
We are hoping all is well with them and that the Grade 2 Hydronephrosis was only because she was a newborn and pumped full of fluids at the hospital.
He also started her on Amoxicillen to keep her from getting any type of infection.
She was originally on Cephelexan, but it made her vomit, so he switched her.
Overall she looks amazing and goes back in a week for another check up!

Mylah had her follow up/post-op Cardiologist appointment on Tuesday.
She had a quick visit by one of our favorite and the most dedicated Cardiologist's we had, Dr. Gallindo. He was the one who stayed by her side the entire day after she had her Tet Spell. He was very concerned about her and became attached quickly. He stopped by to check on our "Princess" as he calls her and I was grateful. It was really nice to see him. Next her Cardiologist - Dr. Thomas took a look at her heart. He says everything looks really good! Her O2 Sats are at 83% and she is progressing well. Best case scenario for her is to be able to make it to 6 months old or older and then have her full repair done. Unless something happens before then, that is the plan. Dr. Thomas will see her again in a month.
That night as I went to bed, I realized how truly blessed we are as a family. Everyday I get to hold my precious baby girl. I get to nurse her and give her kisses and care for her. Some parents with CHD Babies or Tet Babies aren't as lucky. We are some of the lucky ones. Mylah has done really well at home and is growing and sharing her sweet spirit with our family. We all love her so much and can't imagine our days without her!
