Struggles...

Evynn is causing a bit of concern, after being taken off of her lasix (which removes fluid around her heart), she saturation levels are down.  We had to spend a day having an unplanned x-ray, echo & blood work.  Her cardiologist has now got her back on the lasix, but that has caused her to loose 8oz in one week.  She has now fallen off the bottom growth chart.  The surgeons want her to be at least 11lbs before her next surgery in 2 months.  With the way things are going... that will be a struggle.

3 months

Evynn is almost three months old and loves to be held. She is watched closely by her cardiologists at Sickkids, through monthly Echos, ECGs and blood test.  Evynn will have a Heart Catheterization Test done in October.  The cardiologist puts a long thin tube through an artery from her groin to her heart.  Then they x-ray her heart while they send dye through it.  This is to prepare for the next surgery, the Glen, which will be done sometime in November.
