May 2023

It's been a busy & an emotional month. 
We had the kids birthday party today & that felt successful. 
The day after on May 8, Enzos actual birthday, we went to the clinic for Zaia's 1 year appointment. 
She had been having issues gaining weight which was concerning because she was not meeting her developmental milestones.
I brought the issues up with the doctor, I waited for appointments with physical therapy, I got a 2nd referral for a different physical therapy.
I have to understand that in my heart, I advocated for my daughter. 
During Zaias visit, the doctor recommended for us to go to the ER because of her weight gain & her poor oxygen of 93%. 
Zaia got admitted. 
She has a plethora of doctors on her case. 
Internal med, derm, cardio, ENT, pulmonary, genectics & now neuro. 
Zaia has an ejection fraction of 45%, normal is 55-65%. 
She is aspirating & we are trying to figure out why. 
Neuro is now involved because she may have to get imaging of her brain. 
I am trying to tell myself there is nothing I could have done, this isn't my fault.
