3 Month Photos & Update


JAELYN AT 3 MONTHS

How darling is she? I cannot get enough of her!!! We had her 3 month photos done by Armi Gorrell and she did a wonderful job. Here's a few of my favorites:




UPDATE:
 Last week Jaelyn had her cardiology appointment where we did a chest x-ray and found some fluid in her lungs. She also had blood labs drawn and showed high potassium levels. So she was admitted to Utah Valley Hospital for that and a need for inserting a feeding tube. We were sent home a day later and sent up to Primary Children's Medical Center a couple days after that. She needed to be monitored since we had put her on Lasix for the fluid in her lungs, and Enalipril for her heart. We found in an echocardiogram that the left side of her heart (the good side) wasn't functioning as well as they would like it to. Apparently that's a typical thing to happen in situations like hers, since that side tries to compensate for the other side. We were able to get discharged on Mother's Day which was a wonderful gift! So then at this week's cardiology appointment we decided that we'll place a heart cath within the next few weeks to find out more about the heart and to see how ready she is for surgery. As of now, Dr. Hoffman is thinking her next surgery will probably happen mid to late July. Hopefully we'll get answers soon. The unknown is killing me.
