On Thursday we took Mylah to see her Pediatrician for her 9 month check up (a month late) and also took her to see her Cardiologist.
The Pediatrician was impressed with her and how well she is doing, but was concerned about her weight gain. She is only 17lbs. 4 oz. and is 28 inches long. She is only in the 10-20% for her weight and so her doctor told us to have her eat foods that contain more calories. Other than her weight, she's doing well!
Her last appointment for the day was with her Cardiologist. It was our quickest check up to date! We waited about a half hour in the waiting room, then we were taken back to have her EKG done. Mylah was really curious this time around about all the little tabs stuck to her body and the wires attached to those. She tried to pull it off a few times, but sat still long enough for a good reading.
She also had an amazing Pulse Ox reading...98%!! I took the picture before it read the actual 98%, but you get the idea. She also tried to pull that off of her toe! Curious little girl.
We were moved to the ECHO room shortly after that and Dr. Thomas came right in! He was happy to see Mylah and we talked for a bit and then I laid her down for her ECHO.
He began taking pictures and then Mylah became a bit squirmy. Out came the magical pink light up wand! She loves that toy and had fun playing with it!
It even allowed me to take a good picture of him doing her scan!
And what did he have to say about her heart? It looks really good, very little regurgitation from her Pulmonary Valve, the flow and function of her heart looks amazing and it sounds good.
The best part came next...he doesn't want to see her for six months! SIX MONTHS!!! I almost cried. It feels so good to know that she is progressing and working towards a very healthy and happy life!
We are so blessed. So thankful. Modern Medicine is truly a miracle!
Now we can prepare for all the upcoming fun we are going to have, vacations, holidays and most importantly...Mylah's First Birthday!
We are grateful everything went so well with her check ups!
