Jamie and I took Jonathan to the cardiologist on Wednesday. Without his diaper, he weighed nine pounds, 11.6 ounces! The fluid is still gone around his heart so we were allowed to take him off his diuretic. The doctor was pleased with his progress - level of activity, weight gain, alertness, etc. That is twice we have left the cardiologist's office with good news!
When Jonathan first came home, we were giving him meds three times a day (five in the morning, one in the afternoon, and four in the evening). We had a rubric to keep it all straight. Now, we are simply giving him one-fourth of an aspirin daily to prevent blood clots. Oh, it is so much easier! Not only that, but now his chest is stapleless! The doctor used a staple remover and just popped them out. I think it pinched close to the top because Jonathan howled for quite some time after "the event."
I will post pictures later. I tried to tonight but was unable to upload.
