Connor's Blood Pressure

Well, we are happy Connor's heart is healthy now we just have to figure out why his blood pressure is so crazy! He continues to go to the doctor weekly, sometimes every other week to monitor his blood pressure. He also takes two blood pressure medications to control it. They have started the long process of weaning him off one of the meds. We are hopeful this will happen sometime before he's 2! He will continue to see the Kidney Specialist/Hypertension Specialist every 6 months until they figure out his blood pressure. This is our last hurdle and I am sure it will be a tough one! We are confident that they will figure it out or at least get his meds down. In the meantime, we are thankful for our pediatrician and nurse whom we have gotten to know VERY well! They are optimistic and love Connor which makes the weekly appointments easier!
