Lexi had her 2 week cardiologist appointment last Tuesday at Children's hospital and she only gained 2 ounces in the last 2 weeks, which is better than nothing, but a lot less than we were hoping for.
They have increased her calorie intake from 25 calories per ounce to 27 and they increased the amount of furosemide she takes and hopefully between the two she'll continue to gain weight.
They would like her at 12lbs before her heart surgery in August and she weighed in at 10lbs 1ounce, so she has a little more weight to pack on in a short amount of time.
We now have a date for her heart surgery and it's going to happen on August 20th. We will meet with the surgeon and his team to go over the surgery on the 18th which will take a good part of the day and then we will take her back on the morning of the 20th and she'll be up at Children's for around 1 ½ weeks.
