Jude had another checkup with his cardiologist in Dallas today. His heart continues do to as it should with good oxygen saturations for Jude. However, the doctor is concerned about Jude's rate of weight gain. He is gaining weight, just not at the rate at which he should. This is common for kids with CHD, so it's not something that is shocking to us. It does mean more appointments and added steps in Jude's daily care, but we will take it in stride and do what needs to be done to help Jude. The next step is a virtual visit with a dietician on Monday, to get her recommendations for what we can do to help him to gain weight. Then we will go back to the cardiologist in 2 weeks for a weight check. Our next cardiologist appointment in Houston will be mid-September.
Our older boys have adapted to virtual learning for this semester and have been really great in helping with Jude as he grows. He loves his big brothers!
