Allen's Heart

We went for the follow up appointment with the cardiologist today. All looks good. The doctor couldn't hear the murmur on the sthetoscope nor could he see anything on the echogram. So the hole has probably closed. However, to be on the safe side, he suggested we come back for another check up in a year.

Unlike last time, when Ivan pooped in my hands as I was undressing him to weigh him, this time he behaved. There were no explosion poops.

Allen was extremely alert all day today and was interested in the surroundings at the hospital (actually, he was wide awake for the entire day today, from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m.). He was desperately and eagerly trying to communicate with the EKG and echo technicians and the doctor. He was doing his best to charm them, but they were rather immune to his flirting and focused on their work.

He weighs 11 lbs 13 oz and is 24 inches long.
