Slowly over the past week or so things have been returning to normal. Sofia had a good check up last Wednesday with her cardiologist. Her energy level has been really good too. She did lose quite a bit of weight from surgery and recovery and for a few days looked so thin to me (all those diuretics too). Her appetite has been better too.
Today she threw us for a little loop. Over the past 2 days she's developed a cough, which seemed worse at night, but fine during the day. This morning she had a very distinguishable barking cough. She complained of her back and chest hurting. Just to make sure everything was ok, we called the cardiologist on call and ended up taking her into Hillcrest ER. They did a chest x-ray, which looked them the same as her x-ray last Wednesday had. They didn't do any other treatment and she came home this afternoon. Tonight, she seems to be running a low fever, but we'll just keep an eye on her.
I had my first full week back at work last week and it was tiring. I hope to be back into the swing of things this week. There just seems to be so much going on and hard to keep up. Oliver started his new job 3 weeks ago and this week our new babysitter starts. It might be a little adjustment for the girls to have someone new watching them, but I think it will definitely be a good thing. It's still hard to believe that Sofia's surgery was almost 6 weeks ago. I can't wait to get her started in dance and/or gymnastics this summer. And she will be really excited to return to swim class. Oliver seems to have limitless energy and I'm struggling to keep up. I'd really like to get back to the Y myself!
