Back too soon

Ahh the familiar noises of the hospital!!! I don't even need to look at the monitor to know what number is off that is causing the dings and alarms. We're back at Phoenix Children's to try and tackle Baby B's heart rate and blood pressure. His pressures are too high along with his heart rate, medication is hopefully the answer. He was started on clondine which is a blood pressure medication that relaxes your blood vessels, to decrease the resistance in side of them.... Think of water running through a small hose and a big hose... Less pressure inside the big hose right? Same concept with baby B, if we can get his blood vessels to relax his pressure will go down in turn making his perfect heart beat slower:) Docs suspect that this could be a main factor in his poor weight gain, his heart beats as if he just finished working out all the time, hard to pack on the pounds if that's the case! Luckily or shall I say hopefully we will only have to be here a few days... But overall it is better to be here and getting Blu the care he needs than to not be! Then perhaps he will start gaining some weight! Remember that is the main Goal right now... To get him fat for surgery #2.. The Glenn!! Think positive for our boy... Pray for him to gain weight stay strong and for his heart to slow down a bit!!! Love to all and thank you for keeping our boy in Your thoughts and prayers!
