Cardiology Check-up
Today went VERY WELL! Carlie did great during her echo and the tech was able to get the pictures she needed pretty quickly. After her echo, we headed over to the heart institute to meet with Dr. Mulla. Carlie weighed in at 30 pounds (one more pound than six months ago), 36 1/2 inches tall and sats between 95/96. Dr. Mulla was very pleased with the function of Carlie's heart and the fact that her mitral valve regurgitation was mild. She was officially taken off her Lasix (I had not been giving full doses because of potty training, which was okay with Dr. Mulla) and her Enalapril was kept the same; Dr. Mulla stated that it is her goal to have her patients off all medications by school age. The best news of all...Carlie doesn't need to go back for another check-up for a whole year! It's crazy to think that just three years ago, we were making weekly visits and now yearly visits?!? We are blessed and God is GOOD!

Hello,
I found your blog off of another friends blog. Our son is 2 months old and also has tricuspid atresia. He just had a shunt placed a few weeks ago and his Glenn is scheduled for September. It is so great to hear that your daughter is doing so well. That is great news and very inspiring.
