more updates

Well most of you know what is/has been going on with Makenzi. When she was born her DR heard a heart murmur it had went away when we left the hospital. Well at her 2month appt she heard it again. So we made an appt with the Children's Hospital in Columbia, MO. We had our appt about 2weeks ago. She still has the murmur but doesnt have a whole in heart. Thank god! But we arnt out of the woods yet. When Makenzi was born she had a few Strawberry hemangioma Well under 2 of them it became swollen and looked bruised. I took her into the ER when she was 5ish weeks old and the DR there said she was fine. In the back of mine mind i didnt think that was right. So at her 2month appt I showed her DR and her DR had the same concerns as I did. So we made an appt for her to be seen by a Dermatologist. Yesterday she had a follow up with her DR one last time before her DR left the hospital. When she was weighed i got very concerned because she had lost a few oz. Now most people proibly wouldnt be concerend. But I have been feeding Makenzi rice cereal 2times a day and since Tuesday of this week 1 container of 1st foods a day. So we waited till her DR came in and the frist thing her DR said was I am also concerned about her weight. So we talked about things I can do to hel her gain weight. so today was her derm appt. We get there and they take pictures and wiat for the DRs to become free so we can have a tella-appt. which is a VTC with Drs in Columbia. The derm here at FLW has seen many of these and said they are more common then most people think. they were also equally concerned about her not gaining weight. Which her not ganing weight could be caused by a hemangioma on her liver. July 8th we have an appt with Ultrasound to check her liver. In the mean time we just wait. Today she also got blood taken to check a few things. The only thing I remember is they were checking her thyroid. So we have a few more appts coming in the next month month in a half so please just continue to pray for Makenzi and everything comes back fine. As for the hemangioma they will not do surgery on it because its not hurting her and its not constricting growth.

Heart Update.

We went last week for her heart appt to the Children's Hospital in Columbia. I could NEVER tell you how hard it was to walk in that Children's Hospital not knowing what was going to happen and if we would be spending a lot more time there. Ad i was tearing up riding the elevator all the way to the 6th floor I have NEVER been more scared. I really couldn't even tell you her name without bawling. So we got in the room and had the EKG and Heart Echo done and the lady ho did it was SO RUDE. I was on the phone with daddy the whole time and Makenzi was SCREAMING. So after it was done i was calming her down with my back turned toward the door looking towards the window to make Makenzi happy. Te DR walked in said she was fine and walked back out. I didn't even have enough time to turn around before he was out of the room. He had even left the WHOLE OFFICE. I went to the reception desk and was like what just happened. The reception lady went and found her nurse and came back and told me that Makenzi still has a heart Murmur but no hole in her heart. they will check it more often to see what it is doing but as of right now she is great with her heart. We go on the 11th for a follow up to her Pedi and then on the 12th to the Derm to find out about these things on her. I am so scared about that. anyway I had her 3month pictures taken! oh so cute!!!
