To Topeka to see the Cardiologist - our 7 pounder!

WEIGHT UPDATE! I totally forgot to mention that she's up to 7 lbs. 4 oz. now! AND...20 1/8 inches long! Wahoo! Well, we're heading to Topkea today for Ellie's cardiologist appointment. It's at 1:30 p.m. today. Please pray for the outcome - we're really hoping Ellie's PDA vessesl is closed. Will of course give a report when we return! The Report: Well, after seeing Dr.Schroder, the cardiologist, we found out that Ellie's PDA vessel is still open, but it's very small! The Dr. said that we would not do much for it now, but that we'd keep an eye on it. So we are to come back in 6 months and hopefully it will be closed then. She also heard the murmur - she said she really had to struggle to hear it though. So all in all, a good report as this small vessel isn't having any adverse affects on Ellie's health at this point.

  3. She looks perfect to me so I'm sure all is well. Thank you for keeping us up on her progress. Her favorite Great-Aunt is keeping track and everyone at work says that her Grandma Weber looks exactly like her favorite Great- Aunt Marsha >>> or should that be the other way around??? Have a Happy Thanksgiving..
