Today was your 1st appaointment with Dr Colin McMahon in the heart clinic in the medical tower in Crumlin. We almost got lost trying to find it, say it's in a newer part of the hospital, it was very modern. There was loads in the waiting room, some of the children we recognised from St Teresa's ward, one in particular was a down syndrome boy who was next to you at one stage, i think he was a little younger than you.
The nurses brought you in to get weighted, your length and saturations. You weighed 3.84kg which was up from your birth weight and they were happy with that. We were ages waitin to see Dr Mc, his reg Michelle called us in to have a chat about how things were going with you and what are the plans for kidney check up's, feeding, sleeping and general progress. She also was delighted with your progress.
Dr Mc then brought you in for an echo, today you wore yer smart shirt body suit, Dr Mc said you the smartest dressed baby he's ever had to his clinic, and how right he was, you were so handsome n' cute. He was happy with your echo and your progress. He kept telling us how great parents we were to you and what an amazing job we were doing with your progress. Think we were less than 2hrs in total in Crumlin which wasn't bad, may have sneaked some shopping in on d way home in liffey valley, my excuse was "sure we'll have to stop somewhere to feed you" and what better place than the shopping centre ;-)
