Kalista saw Dr. Perry today for her cardiology follow-up. He confirmed that she does have WPW (Wolff-Parkinson-White heart arrythmia) after further EKG testing, but it looks like it is not causing any SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) at this time. He told us we should not worry and if there are any symptoms that need treatment, Kalista will be old enough by then to tell us how she feels. So...we will cross that bridge when we get to it.
We have scheduled an echocardiogram in February 2011 to double check and make sure the PDA ligation surgery that was done way back in May is truly patched up. Not sure why this was not done while we were in the NICU since it seems like proper follow-up, but better now than never. The cardiology team wants to make sure Kalista is properly fit to undergo another surgery next spring.
Other than that....no other medical information at this time. They did measure her growth and she is at 25 inches in length and a little bit over 15 pounds. Her hair has to contribute for at least 2 pounds since it is so thick....just kidding.
