Yesterday was Emersyn's post-op appointment. With clothing and a semi- wet diaper she weighed 13lbs 14 oz. I know this is somewhat inaccurate because of her clothing but really??? What a chunky little ladybug! I'm so proud!!!!!
As usual I went with a list of questions. Dr. Grant is so informative and takes the time to answer them and then some. He is awesome! He thought Emersyn looked great. Her incision is healing nicely. There is a spot on either side that is slightly irritated. I was worried but he said it's normal. Infants move their heads so much that the specific area tends to be sensitive. We will continue to put the antibiotic ointment in those areas. She has dissolvable stitches so overtime they will fall out.
She is still taking Tylenol to make her comfortable. The swelling has gone down considerably. Dr. Grant said the remaining swelling should be gone in the next few weeks. He gave us the go ahead to lower her mattress at the end of the week. She's been sleeping at an incline to help with the swelling.
Overall the appointment went extremely well. My questions were answered and my worries were eased. Emersyn is making great progress and we are thrilled about that.
Her next check up is in 6 weeks!!
