Progress Is His Middle Name!
On March 28th, the day of Dashiell's catheter procedure, he weighed in at 14lb1oz. A week later on April 4, at his cardiologist check-up, he weighed in at 14lb6oz, which for him is a good gain as he had been slowing down a bit.
Today, on May 8th at his cardiologist check-up, he weighed in at a whopping 15lb13oz!!
So in the past 5 weeks he's put on a pound and a half, and close to 2 whole pounds in the past 6 weeks/since his surgery!
It's safe to say that fixing his heart murmur is a Very Good Thing &tm; for his weight (aside from all the other reasons of course). His therapists and the cardiologist have all noticed that his legs are a lot more chunky, and that he's looking meatier all over. And while it's hard to accurately measure a squirmy infant's height, he's about 1 1/4 inch taller than when the cardiologist last measured him (28 1/4 inches).
Whee! I'm so happy that he's doing so well since his surgery. It makes all the crappy sleep due to lots of feeding (somewhat) worth it.
