Holter Monitor

I just got the results from the doctor's about Makenzie's Holtor and Michelle said that the max heart rate was 144 and the min was 48 and that is when she is sleeping, and her average is 91. She had a few pauses, but there were 2 pauses that were 2 seconds or greater. Michelle said that is good for her. I am a little nervous because the last one before this one her max was 144 her min was 55 and her average was 102. But Michelle said it could be that she is growing. Still makes me nervous though. But Makenzie seems to be doing great with those numbers she is up and running around like a 4 year old does.

Today started off early as every clinic day does. Makenzie had to get her blood drawn to check her levels, and for the first time in who knows how long, she was terrified of the needle she was struggling so hard to keep her arm away from it. It broke my heart to hear her cry like that, I have not seen her that way for the longest time. Even though She has the right to cry if she wants too she is 4 years old, it hurts me to see her that way. On the other hand it is sad that she is used to getting big pokes when they come at her with a needle and she doesn't cry. Either way it is hard to see your baby getting poked at once a month. Whether she cries or not. But it is nice to know that she is doing good and her medication is working.
Her Echo went well Dr. Norlin said her heart is functioning well and she sounds great. She also had to show off and write her name for her doctors it was cute. They were impressed.
She did get a Halter Monitor put on so I won't get the results back until next week but I hope everything sounds great and the caffeine is doing it's job and keeping her heart pumping well. I will update the results when I get them. She also hit the 27 pound mark way to go Makenzie
And as always thanks for all the thoughts and prayers that are sent Makenzie's way she is an absolute treasure in our life. And I could not imagine life with out her or any of my children they are the greatest gift's I could ever receive.

Camping Trip

We went camping last week to Arches it was way fun. To be honest I was really nervous about taking Makenzie camping it has been the first time since her Transplant. Before we left to go camping I keep checking to see if we had all her meds I was so nervous that I would leave it, but for the 3rd time checking we finally left. I told Tyler that we should say a prayer before we go that we would be safe and that Makenzie would stay healthy and strong. Makenzie had fun getting dirty and playing in the dirt, I for one was not enjoying watching her it was hard for me to just let her be a kid and get dirty with germs. But a few days later I relaxed a little and just let her have fun with Braxton and Jackson. Unfortunately she ended up getting diarrhea so i kept her in pull ups the rest of the time. But luckily it went away in a few days. But to be honest I was nervous when she ended up getting it, cause diarrhea could be a sign of rejection and that is always on my mind when something happens to Makenzie. It was a fun family outing for the weekend and can't wait to do it again next year. I will post picture's when I get my picture's off my camera.
