CA TO CARDIOLOGIST

No girls early this morning and hubbie drove down to pick up g-son to take him to school since Deb was staying with RL today. I got a few extra zzz's this morning and it felt great.
Son-in-love dropped IR by on his way to work at 9:00 while I was outside doing morning chores.
I went up to pull some weeds and spent kale greens from the garden and give them to the chickens when I got a call from daughter. She said the pediatrician had moved the cardiology appointment for CA up to today because of her fast breathing so she asked me to go with her.
Hubbie and IR are staying at her house with the Direct TV repairman while we are gone. We left early to find the office and CA cried most of the way there.
This cardiologist was very thorough and very nice and took plenty of time to explain to daughter and I what was going on with CA. She had lost another couple ounces  now down to 6 lbs  4 oz.
The doctor said her breathing was taking up all her energy and leaving her no desire to even nurse well. He said the large hole in the bottom part of her heart was causing too much blood to be pumped into her lungs filling them with fluid and causing the heavy breathing. He is putting her on Lasix to reduce the fluid levels and hopefully give her more energy and ease her breathing off.
We just pray this works so she can gain some weight and get stronger.
We left there feeling better at least someone seems to have answers for her troubles.
We picked up a slide for IR on the way home and then picked up CA's medicine.
When we got home hubbie was still there with IR taking a nap. The direct TV wasn't fixed and the repairman had left .
Hubbie and I came home in a light rain. A very welcome rain that left about .35 in the gauge.
We are predicted to get some heavy rains starting Friday and lasting several days.

It is a good time for the rains to come as the drought was creeping closer to our area.

We got chores  done and I baked cakes. I baked 6 caramel, 2 chocolate, 4 pound cakes and a pan of brownies then got weekly paperwork done while the last ones baked.

I got the icings done and got things ready for market and was able to get into bed at midnight which wasn't to bad.

Thankful for the blessings of this day and for the medical care CA is receiving.

God Bless and Good Night
