Doctor updates

Last Thursday Abigail went to a gastro doctor specialist out of Denver.  The doctor let me go back to a normal diet except caffeine, chocolate, and peppermint.   She also found that Abigail's rectum is too small. That would explain the lack of poop in two week.  So we have to stretch those muscles out twice a day with a plastic probe.  Kind of gross but after it is done our baby girls poops and is not as fussy.  She still has acid reflex and had X-ray on her upper gi.  That came back all good.  We go back to the gi doctor in three weeks for follow up.

Today we went to the cardiologist, another specialty doctor out of children's hospital in Denver. Same doctor that read her ego in the nicu.  Abigail's heart murmur is gone but the hole in her heart is still 4-5 mm.   Doctor wants to follow up in a year. He thinks it will close on its own. If she gets sick a lot this winter or respitory issues then she will be seen sooner.  If it does not heal by 4-5 years old then they will go in and close it.  I guess that is good and bad news.  They want to wait till she is bigger and the recover is better then them now.  

Last we are doing her oxygen test tonight. The cardiologist wants her off oxygen to help heal her heart so I think she will be off this round.  

Thank you all for all the prayer for our little fighter.

She truly is a little fighter and adorable! Hang in there as in just a few short months this will just be a memory.
