Tyler had an appointment with Dr. Garmany today. The left side of the heart has decreased in size and his function has increased from a 23 to a 34! A normal heart function is 29. While this increase is due to the medicines he is on, it is still great that his heart is getting stronger and hopefully we can get him off medications at some point in his life. Dr. Garmany was surprised at how well he is doing and very encouraged by his progress. We are increasing some of his medications to keep up with his weight.
Things Tyler is doing now: clapping hands, sitting up, reaching and grabbing EVERYTHING, and taking big boy baths with his brother. Still waking up in the night for a bottle. His temper is really starting to show too:)
stats: 8 mths. old, 17 lbs. 17oz., 26 in.
September 10th--Looking back now, we realize that the part of the heart measured was probably just a better part of the heart. Later echos have proven that there hasn't been much change in his heart function.
