Today we saw the cardiologist and the nephrologist. The cardiologist said Greyson’s heart was looking good and that he should continue to get better (his heart had thickened a bit months ago from his pulmonary hypertension). He told us if there is any excess pressure right now it is minimal and nothing to worry about. He also confirmed that the heart rate issue we were concerned about last week was not a problem at all and something that is very normal for all kids.
We also saw the Nephrologist and she said things seem to be going along fine as well. There was a small amount of blood in his urine but that is to be expected since he still has the kidney stone rolling around in there. So far it continues to not be problematic so we will just keep an eye on it and wait till Greyson is older to treat it.
Greyson also stopped by the PICU today and delivered some treats to the staff. The few staff that saw him were quite thrilled with how good he was doing and thought he was looking excellent. This of course made mom and dad quite happy to hear! We didn’t stay very long as we didn’t want Greyson to be comfortable there and kept reminding him that he should only visit that place, but we are thankful for the care he received while he was there. OK I need to get in and feed him as I’m running a little late. Sleep well everyone. (I’m going to try putting the milk in Greyson’s stomach tonight instead of on Stacy’s head. We’ll see how it goes).
That is all great to hear and I just can’t get over how Greyson is growing up so fast. I think you forgot to mention about the vent time, how long can Greyson stay off the vent now? He is such a little man and looks quite proud in his stroller.
I can’t wait to see him.
Love ya Grandma Terry
Hey you guys, I had afew days to catch up on. Nothing makes a day better than checking the blog and catching up with you guys! Sounds like Greyson is doing great. He is growing by leaps and bounds. Keeping you guys busy……to say the least. Bob I was going to ask also, how long is Greyson off the vent during the day? He is really growing and is so cute.
Thanks for keeping us informed. We know you two are really busy, and sometimes really tired. Stacy I wish all of the girls in your family lived closer and could get you out for a ladies day. I’m sure a pedicure and a trip to Starbucks to sit outside and drink coffee would be a great get-away. That’s about all the time Becki, Bobbi and Shelli get a one given time. Hey you know that’s not fair!! I can’t seem to work that into an afternoon for myself. We Love You Guys!!!!!
