Well, it appears from this point there may be a weekly update on baby Cooper because when we saw the specialist (Dr. Perry) on Friday, he said he would prefer that someone take a look at Cooper every week. As of now, I see one of my three doctors the next 3 weeks...this week my normal doctor (Dr. Cole), the next week the specialist (Dr. Perry), and the following week the cardiologist (Dr. Shores).
I saw Dr. Perry on Friday after taking the medicine for a week and a half only to find a "few" normal patterns of a regular heart rate. This was comforting as it was the first time we had heard "normal" in the past several weeks...however, the problem has still not been cured. Dr. Perry was going to talk to the cardiologist, but he said they will most likely leave my dosage of medicine where it is for now...he hates to change the dosage because he is afraid I would see some major side effects with a stronger dosage...so far, I've been "ok"...haven't felt the best this weekend so I'm wondering if it is due to the medicine just now really getting into my system. But...I'm trying not to complain because I want this to work for baby Cooper!
My prayer is that by the time we see the cardiologist on the 27th that we will have a regular heart rate...I think it is reasonable to think that it will take the medicine some time to get in my system and actually work.
And last but not least, thank you all for the many phone calls, texts, e-mails, and especially prayers regarding Cooper...words cannot express how much we appreciate the love and support of our family and friends!
Oh...and a few "fun" things we have heard about Cooper:
He is going to look just like his sister...
He takes beautiful pictures (Jennifer, you should appreciate this)
He is WILD...really? is one wild child not enough?
