I like hopistal

Monday 12 August 2013

This time we were at GOSH with both Little S and her big sister T.

Little S was great, almost enjoying herself – not even complaining about the ECG and the Echo that she has to ensure – there was no blood test so that probably put her in a better mood!
And having T around was also fun, especially since the waiting area has a Wii with Mario Kart on it!

Little S weighed in at 12 kg and managed to come up with 74% for her sats, higher than most previous visits.

We were seen by a different consultant to normal – hopefully another sign that Dr D sees that there is not much to worry about at the moment – although Dr D did pop in to say hello and to let us know that the previous blood tests yielded a BNP of 13,000, much lower than the 30,000 that Little S recorded at the start of the year. Dr D doesn’t get particularly excited about BNP levels but it was another small chink of light, another glimmer of hope.

And they’ve upped one of the medicines now (Captopril) from 0.5 ml slowly up to 1.0 ml, basically because Little S is growing up and getting bigger!

So we come back in three months now – daring to hope in the meantime that Little S stays as healthy and happy as she currently is.
