Charlie had his first cardiology check up since post op today. I went in a bit nervous- as he grows you just never know what they could say, he has been gaining weight and length good and generally is a laid back kiddo, but you just never know what’s happening in the heart. He is also fighting his first cold and got on some meds to hopefully help kick the drainage and mucus. This appointment consisted of an X-ray and echo. He did great during the X-ray and all looks awesome she said! The echo he wasn’t so fond of and we could only keep him so entertained before he let the gal know how he felt about it 🤣 this too he passed with flying colors. His VSD is continuing to close the remaining part that wasn’t fully patched during surgery and his pressures in his arteries are looking even better than they were post op. He had no wires to close his chest so other than the scar you would have no idea he had surgery at all. She said he looks great and is doing so well we don’t have to be seen again until he is 12 months. I about cried at this news out of pure relief! I went into this diagnoses thinking the worst if I’m being completely honest and little Charlie has continued to beat the odds. What we thought would be appts every few months during his first year or two is now tamed way down. He continues to prove to us what a strong little boy he is with the heart of a fighter.
