Sorry I've been so bad at keeping updates posted. I'm so behind. But I did want to put an update on Ashton's latest appt. We met with his cardiologist on Tuesday. The good news is he has gained a pound (only 6 more to go to get him back to what he weighed before surgery, his oxygen saturation is doing better on room air (this means his lungs are healing up), and the fluid was no longer in his right lung. Because his lungs are doing better they took him off the lung medicine and because there is no longer fluid on his lungs he only has to take the diaretic once a day now. The blood work showed that his electrolytes are low so he needs to drink a powerade or gatorade every day. It also showed that his heart is working harder now than before surgery. This concerned us but the cardiologist said that it is to be expected right now and the number is not in the danger area yet. But we do need to keep an eye on it. Overall it was a very good visit and he is doing well.
We were able to spend the weekend at moms. We got up early Saturday morning and got there just in time for Ray to start on his "to do list". He loves to go and do things around the yard and house that are harder for her to do. While he works Ashton and I got to visit with Rick. He had us just laughing. He has a giggle that is very contagious. On Sunday we went to the cemetery to decorate the graves. They looked so pretty with all the flowers. Then on Monday we headed to SL. We got to spend time at Nate's that evening and play with the kids. On Tuesday after our appt we headed back home. We had a very nice weekend.
