Drumroll please ...

Weight check = 6 lbs. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes folks it's amazing, it's incredible, Lilly finally weighs 6 pounds!!

"Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever." Psalm 107:1

Lilly had an echocardiogram today and met with her cardiologist. She checked out great! Her heart looked good, the cardiologist said the pulmonary artery band fit perfectly (and he complimented the surgeon's job on it), and there was no fluid buildup around the heart or lungs.

He reduced Lilly's Lasix medication to one dosage a day and said we could stop the Aldactone. (That means she'll now be on "only" 4 medications.)

Out of curiosity I asked was the size of Lilly's VSD (hole in her heart) was. He said it looked like it was at least 9 mm. (That is considered very large.)

Lilly goes back for a checkup in one month.

On a completely different note, in this last picture, Lilly is reminding everyone to get out and vote! (She's wearing her "I voted early" sticker.)

  1. Dear dollbaby, I shall not vote early but , indeed I shall vote. Thanks for the reminder.
    now the next goal is, 6lb 9oz, cause this is what your daddy weighted at birth, and look how big he is now!
    I was so happy for you, I cried...but tears of joy.
