On the 16th Cole had a follow-up visit with Dr. Saleeb at Children's hospital. I can not say enough good about this physician. She amazes me and doesn't make me feel as though Cole is just another one of her patients. She has given me personal numbers to reach her at, called me while she was on vacation. Truly has gone above and beyond her call of duty.
She came into the room wishing Cole and I a Happy New Year and a smile. She was impressed
with how big and strong Cole was. She sat down, looked at him and said "I can not believe how much he looks like Daddy!" Jay wasn't even with us! See, just an incredible doctor!
She looked at the results from his EKG and she was very happily impressed. It was the most "regular rhythm" she had ever seen for Cole!
Dr.Saleeb changed her treatment plan for Cole. Instead of increasing his dose (due to an increase in weight...he is a growing baby) we are keeping it the same! In 2 months he will wear another halter for 24 hours, and in 3 months she will see him again. Did you see what I wrote? 3 MONTHS!!!!!! Cole MAY be growing out of this E.A.T!!
We are essentially weaning him off his medicine.
Of course I have to continue to oscillate and listen for irregular beats in which case we will have to increase the dose on his medicine; but either way he is doing VERY well!!
With love and prayer my heart is happy because I have Cole in my life!! It looks like my Prince does have a lion heart!!!!!
