At our last weekly doctor's visit, he weighted in at 18 lbs. 15 oz. Overall, the visit went good; however, they have recently put him on a second blood pressure medicine since the first one does not seem to be having the effect they wanted. So, we will continue to take it a day at a time.
We will be going to Arkansas Children's Hospital on November 9th for his hypertension and cardiology clinics. The hypertension clinic will determine if he has any damage to his kidneys. This check is routine for high blood pressure kids. The high blood pressure and the medicine he is on can have an adverse effect. The cardiology clinic is a follow-up to ensure the coarctation of the aorta has not returned and that everything appears to be functioning as intended with the exception of the blood preassure.
Jaymie and I are excited for the holidays!! We are looking forward to seeing some family, friends, and taking some time for leisure vs. doctor visits. We can not tell you how much we have appreciated everyone's support over the past 7 months. Yes....Connor will be 7 months old tomorrow. Time sure flys by when you have kids. Take care and we will keep you posted on the results.
~Casey, Jaymie, and Connor
