Getting better!!!


YAY! Today was another one of Robynson's heart doctor appointments and it was all good news. :) Here are the key points:

Mandy (me) had a panic attack or flu bug attack and couldn't be there in the appointment - again. Dang it! BUT Jeremiah was there and to Robyn, nothing is better than some one on one time with Dad. :)

Robyn was good for the Echo on her heart, the blood pressure checks and for all of the other checks by the doctor. She even got a little truck and a color book for being so good. :)

She was taken off 2 of her meds - Digoxin and her Furosemide. Now it's just 2 meds in the morning and the same 2 meds at night!

Robyn gained a little weight so her 2 major medicine doses were increase a little. The meds that were increased are the ones that help her heart function how it's supposed to. :)

Her EF is at 66%! :) (Nod your head - it's a good thing!)

We're so excited and happy for her improvements. :) The person doing the Echo explained everything to Jeremiah in detail - and he just LOVES that stuff. The doctor was great to explain to Jeremiah the ins and outs of her heart. But in essence - the more she improves, the less likely it is that she will have to have a heart transplant later in life. :)

Thank you all for your love for our family! :)
