Paxton's follow up appointment.

Pax had his follow up appointment yesterday. He is doing fabulous!!! They did a chest x-ray to make sure his chest is clear, and it is. They also did an EKG to see if his heart is working better, and he passed!!!! His blood pressure is perfect, YAY!!! He has a really good pulse in his leg, finally and his feet are warm. The doctors are amazed at how well he is doing, and still cant believe how well he was doing before the surgery considering how hard his heart and body was working. When he listened to his heart the heart murmur was gone. The only concerns they have is he hasn't gained any weight since his surgery, he still weighs 24 pounds, which is what he weighed before surgery. But considering he got the flu when he was only 2 weeks out from surgery, they understand why he hasn't put on any weight. and they explained to us that as he gets older and the aorta stretches to grow with his body, the spot that they had to correct will always be narrowed, or different from the rest of the aorta, so this means he has a higher chance of developing high blood pressure. So they want to make sure he is on a good diet, so we have to watch his salt intake and processed foods. YIKES, that's going to be hard for me, i guess we will all have to start eating better. Before the surgery they explained to us that there could be a slight possible chance that the aorta could close off again, when the incision heals it could get allot of scar tissue around it and close off again, if that were to happen they would go in with a balloon and open it back up. Luckily when they checked him yesterday it hasn't happened yet, and since he's 3 weeks out, the doctor felt pretty confident that he has a less then 10% chance of it happening now, he said he feels like it would have started happening already if it was going too. i was so relieved when he told us that, i was probably most worried about that happening. Pax will have to continue to follow up with his cardiologist for the rest of his life, but hey if that's all that comes from this i'm totally fine with that.
We did mention to them that he has been acting really naughty and throwing the WORST tantrums, they weren't concerned about it. They said usually it takes them a while after surgery to feel better, and once again getting the flu on top of it, and getting his back molars in, wasn't helping the situation. they also reminded me he is 15 months old and that's the age that they usually start the tantrums. He hasn't been doing it as much as he was over the weekend, so i think he is starting to feel better. Its just that this kid is so testy, if he doesn't get what he wants when he wants it, you are in BIG trouble, you will see the biggest meltdown EVER. Now that i know its not health related and they guaranteed me he's not in any discomfort, we have been ignoring them and it has been helping with the tantrums.
 All in all pax is healing really good, and now that his incision has mostly closed up he can finally take a real bath, no more sponge baths!!!! i'm just glad its over with, now we can just enjoy the summer.
