We had a doctor's appointment for Sydney this morning at Vanderbilt. It was a follow-up ECHO of her heart--the nurses and doctors in the NICU had heard a faint murmur that they wanted to monitor. The murmur is still there, but today's doctor did not seem to be worried. She did indicate that the murmur was not the more serious PDA (patent ductus arteriosus), which could be a sign of congestive heart problems. We'll have another routine ECHO in 6 months to monitor it; hopefully her little preemie heart will heal itself. We were surprised to find that Sydney now weighs 7 lbs. 12 oz.! We knew that both of the girls were putting on the weight, but we had no idea how much. Both girls did very well during the 5 1/2 hours away from home; Rebekah and I even had time to wolf down some Taco Bell in the Children's Hospital cafeteria...
