Hope for Colston

Hi Everyone.

Sorry it's been a while since I have made a post. I think I've finally found my routine and how to balance Colston's needs and being a stay at home mom.

I have to admit, being a stay at home mom is a lot more difficult than I realized, especially with a heart baby.

 Of all days for my to forget his pacifier, it was appointment day. Colston weighed in at 8 pounds 11 ounces!

He was not having it during his echo though. It was hard for the cardiologist to get a good look but he did see that Colston's stent might be a little narrow. 

I say might because Colston's crying could've made it look like something was there when it wasn't. His doctor ordered what's called a BNP blood test where Colston get's pricked in the foot. This test basically measures the stress on the heart. Thankfully those numbers came back normal so his doctor isn't concerned but it is definitely something we will be checking again at our next appointment.

If those BNP numbers came back out of the normal range, then his next surgery would be sooner. But for now we are still planning on his next surgery being in January when he is about six months. 

I can't believe we're already half way there! 

Here's some pictures of Colston from the last few weeks
