Update

HI All, Mia had her first Cardiology visit today after leaving hospital. The doctor was very happy with her progress. The band they put around her pulmonary artery is working well and her heart function looks good. She doesn't have to have her diuretics anymore and since I stopped her reflux medication (since it does JACK) she doesn't have any meds now!
They will organise a cardiac catheter for before Christmas which is when they put a tube into her heart through an artery in her groin to measure pressures in the heart and have a bit of a look see. It is usually only an overnight stay in hospital. Then depending on what they see and find, she will still probably be having her next operation at 6 months (February).
She is a very happy baby (except when she gets woken up and told to feed!) in between vomits which are still a plenty!
All our love, thanks for all the comments and support from afar,
XXXX

Also very glad to hear things are progressing so well. Long may it continue - wonderful she is such a happy baby and no doubt that means happy parents too.
