October 31, 2006

Arielle's doctor visit today was for vaccinations. She is up to 12 1/2 lbs and is 25 1/4" tall. She's still in the 25th percentile, so she's keeping steady. This doctor said that her murmur isn't as loud as it has been, and said that the report from the cardiologist is good. That the report said that what has been considered a "moderate" sized hole is now "moderate to small", and some sort of gradient number (unknown what that means, possibly the level that blood is flowing through the hole) used to be 5/6 and now it's 3-4/6. So it looks like it's getting better. Thanks again for your prayers!

October 12 appointment with cardiologist

The bad news is the hole in Arielle's heart is not any smaller. But the good news is that is hasn't gotten any bigger, and it hasn't caused any damage to the aortic valve. But I have to get back to this later; my pain level is at a 9 and rising so this is it for now!
