I Got a Panda Sticker..

Gabe went for his check up today, everyhting looks good, especially his weight..he's now at 4kg, so Dr Hayashi says looking good..

However, he did say that as Gabe grows, the shunt as it is artificial will not. Therefore, it may cause his cyanosis to worsen. For example if he cries too hard, he may turn a lil blue at times. But it should be ok when he calms back down. If it doesn't, then we'll have to bring him to hospital and they will need to insert another shunt. Because he is simply too small to close his hole in heart & repair the pulmonary artery valve as well. They need him to be at least 8-10kg to do that.

However, Dr H says everything looks good and we shouldn't need to worry about that now. Ok so basically, after hearing that for me that means not letting Gabe cry too hard and long, so the boy is gonna be a spoilt brat..sigh...

He also took a jab today as winter is fast approaching and we want to prevent Gabe from catching any cold viruses. Poor boy cried hard, but just for awhile...for his bravery, he got a pretty lil panda sticker..check it out...and he's wearing new clothes too..isn't he cute....
