10 months today, boy how the time has flown. So happy that you are up to 14 pounds 14.4 ounces. The little girl in my arms today has accomplished so much. You started physical therapy a few weeks ago and you are doing great with it. The trunk muscles are starting to form and you are trying to pull you're legs up under you. It won't be long long until watch out world cause someone will be crawling all over.
6 months ago at almost this very hour (it was around 5 or 6 in the morning) I woke up to the team of doctors making the first set of rounds for the day. But they seemed a little more on edge this time. Several of them actually came inside the cicu room this time and fiddled with the controls on the external pacemaker.
Then there was talk is is there an opening on the schedule. I started to get a little nervous. I knew that we must have reached that point where it was time to go ahead and put in the permanent pacemaker. 9 days before this the open heart surgery had gone so well except the pacing of the heart wasn't working. The surgeon had explain that it's normal for that to happen. He said that sometimes it comes back, other cases it doesn't because the paths were damaged and won't repair themselves. I prayed and asked everyone else to pray that the heart would start to work on it's own. By the 9th days the thresh hold levels on the external pacemaker were as high as they would go.
So within a few minutes the doctors were having me sign all the proper forms. By 7am they were getting her ready for the o.r. Let me tell you it's one thing to carry you 3 and a half month old baby to the operating room door it's another to follow behind the hospital bed, then ride the elevator, then walk a long hallway.
But you are doing great note, even getting chubby enough that you can't see it our feel it down in your abdomen. To be honest most said a forget there is service inside of you that keeps you're hey in rhythm.
