Kalyssa and Mom on 8/21/08 - Six Months Old!
We had her official pictures taken the following Sunday, but this shot was taken the day she was 6-months old. Four days later we took her to her well-baby visit and she weighed 12.8 pounds and was 23.25 inches long. She didn’t like her shots (of course!) and unfortunately the pediatrition was again able to hear a heart murmer. We have since had another echocardiogram and she does still have one of the two holes in her heart. The good news is that the one in her lower-chambers/ventria has healed, but the bad news is that the one in her upper chambers/atria is still moderate in size. It does not seem to affect her and the doctor’s are still choosing to watch and see if it grows smaller at this time. We will have another echocardiogram at Riely in mid December to see if there has been any progress. I promise I’ll post results! Between six and seven months she has begun to sit up for longer with assistance and just this week has begun propping herself up with her arms when on her tummy regularly. You can’t get her to sleep on her back at this point … she’s rolling over and around constantly!
