Another Update / Doctor Visit

I haven't posted for a while, which generally means something good! :) Or that I'm busy. In this case, it means both. :)

Robynson has been being pretty good / normal for herself. We've been doing as much as we can to keep her away from sick friends / family. We've avoided most social situations to avoid the random kid who is there who happens to either be sick or a carrier for something that would bring her down and land her at a holiday stay in the hospital.

She has gotten a light flu and strep throat since I posted last. Luckily, the strep throat seemed to be caught early on and she is currently on meds for that. The flu was really light for her and didn't seem to affect her breathing or anything like that so we have been REALLY lucky!

Robyn had a doctor appointment yesterday morning and wouldn't you know it - I was sick. I got sick on the way to the appointment, so instead of going along to see everything first hand, I slept on Jeremiah's sisters couch while Jeremiah got to be there and comfort her and be her buddy. I think they both sort of liked it that way. :)

Jeremiah reported that the doctor told him that Robynson is doing great. They was very pleased to see the progress that her little heart was making. So pleased, in fact, that Robyn was taken off of Levocarnitine (which was the most expensive, biggest dose, twice a day medicine) and she was also taken off of her baby aspirin. Which means we are now down to 4 meds in the morning and 2 at night (well, plus her amoxicilian for strep throat, but that won't be very much longer now). Jeremiah didn't ask about her EF for her heart, but the doctor seemed really happy about the results, so we take it as she's getting better. :) YAY!!!

Robyn needs to go in for labs in about a month to see how her blood is without the Levocarnitine, but if she still looks good, she won't have an appointment until FEBRUARY!!!! Hooray! So, in the mean time, just remember that God is great, Love your neighbor and Life is Good. :)

PS. I will be doing a post over at the family blog (www.mandyandmiah.blogspot.com) about her birthday in the next few days hopefully... Its just been REALLY busy these last few weeks and when I did have time to do it, I couldn't find the cord to download the pictures to the computer. But it was lots of fun. :) Loves!

More coming tomorrow

Robyn had a Dr appointment today, but I'm too tired to write about it. SO know that it was good and I'll write tomorrow. :)
