Oxygen

I took Ada to the cardiologist today. Her heart looks great, but she does have a plueral effusion. (fluid around her right lung) So she is still on oxygen and will be until her next appointment which is in four weeks. But before we had the echo done this is what I went through: After she had her chest xray the doctor came in and said that her heart looked bigger than it did when she left the hospital. He said that he wanted to get an echo done. I thought that I was going to cry. It was all I could do to keep the tears from falling. This is exactly what they said to me last time before she was hospitalized. I thought, "here we go again." After her echo was done the doctor came back and said it was a false alarm her heart looked great. But he wanted her to stay on the oxygen until next visit. So I guess we are moving in the right direction slow but sure. She is gaining weight and is oh so stinkin cute. I won't tell anyone that I drove up to Primary's yesterday only to find out that her appointment wasn't until today. (oops brain fart)

Back to Normal

Ada is home and she seems to be thriving. She loves the kids and smiles all the time. She was up in her weight at the doctor on Friday. She is still on oxygen, but hopefully when I take her to see the cardiologist that will change. She hates it and I find her hanging on to it more than it is in her nose. (I don't think that her skin absorbs the oxygen, do you?) Mason and Sydney are enjoying school. Sydney says that the boy that sits across from her is handsome. Oh great she is only 5!! She says he talks to her all the time (Heehee, giggle, giggle) She is a nut. Now that things are settling down with Ada, I can change my focus to Cole. He has started preschool and I can't tell if he likes it. He has sensory integration disorder. We have been working with several occupational therapists and autism specialists. Wow, if its not one thing then its another. Things are looking up for us as I am able to get into more of a schedule.
