Lynnlee is 2 months old. With all that she has been through I feel like it's been more than 2 months. Recently she has had checkups with the dermatologist and cardiologist. The dermatologist checked her birth mark. She told us it would continue to increase in size over the next few months and then over the next few years it will lighten and disappear. So far it's definitely getting bigger but it's funny how small of a concern it is compared to her heart defect. The cardiologist said her heart was pumping well and as they expect for this point in time. Her oxygen is 88% (90% or above is normal for you and I but they expect hers to be below 90%). She is able to stop taking a medication she was taking for swelling. All in all we couldn't be more happy with her check up. She will need her next surgery as early as July but hopefully not until fall. It all depends on how she changes over the next few months. She will have a check up with the cardiologist again next month.
