Avery had a follow-up with her regular pediatrician today. I was a little nervous because Avery has become skitish around doctors, but she did great. I love our pediatrician...she gave Avery all kinds of kisses and was genuinely pleased to see her in such good condition.
Medically, Avery is doing very well. We are continuing our current treatment plan at least until we see the specialist in October (which I'm happy about because it's working, why mess with it). She decided that since Avery is wetting enough diapers (I am keeping a journal of everything...diapers included) we don't need to follow-up on the potassium. That is a relief, because I really didn't want to go through more bloodwork. She said to keep taking the journal and she'll call later this week and make a final decision.
Avery has also gained nearly 2 pounds since she was first taken to the doctor's last week. They were very pleased with that as well, because she was down some weight.
I feel so blessed tonight. This time last week was a low, low point.
