Justin News
Weight/Growth Issues: Justin has grown about 2.5 pounds in the last 2 months, and now measures at 29.5 inches. He lost about a pound during his illness, but gained it back, plus some. We officially started him on an appetite stimulant that was originally concocted for allergies. It is actually an antihistimine that causes drowsiness and hunger. As usual, I had some apprehension about him starting a new medicine in addition to the 4 that he’s already taking, but he needs it.
Electrophysiology Appointment: Justin met with his EP, today, for a pacemaker interrogation. I still do not truly understand EP, and know that in this lifetime, I never will. I suppose all I need to know is that he has heart block, but still has an intrinsic rhythm because he has two sinus nodes. Theoretically, if a lead were to break, we’d have time to treat it. He’s also using his pacemaker about 94% of the time.

I always forget that Justin has a pacemaker. Electrophysiology doesn’t register in my brain. It’s a good thing there are super smart people in this world who can take care of all of that, isn’t it?
That’s great news about the weight gain! Keep packing on those pounds, little man!
Thanks for the update. It’s always good to see a new post on your blog. xo
