Today we had a follow-up appointment with the cardiologist and got a great report. Kelsey is gaining weight very nicely-she gained a pound in two weeks! Her oxygen levels were great-98-100%, and her EKG was fine. The doctor said that she wants to aim for Kelsey's surgery to be in November. This will put her having her surgery before cold and flu season. She really doesn't want her to have her surgery during that time, for obvious reasons, and if we wait until Kelsey is closer to a year old, something could come up and cause her to need her surgery sooner, in which case we would risk it being right in the middle of the cold and flu season. The doctor also said that if they needed to do the surgery right now (which they don't) Kelsey is already at a good size, but the longer we wait the bigger she will get; and the bigger the better! This is great news and we hope to continue to recieve this type of news until it's time for the surgery.
We appreciate all of the thoughts, concerns, and especially the prayers for our family and Kelsey right now. We ask that you continue to pray for us and leave the rest up to God. I will keep you updated on the lastest news as we learn of it. We have another appointment scheduled for July 20 with the cardiologist and July 21 for her two month check-up.
