2:00 AM-Daphne was admitted to Primary Children's Hospital very early this morning. We had her two week check up yesterday afternoon and her pediatrician heard a loud heart murmur. She had lost a significant amount of weight and he said that the two factors made him very uncomfortable. His office tried to get us an appointment with a cardiologist but the soonest we could be seen was January 2nd. He sent us to the ER at Primary Children's. Daphne does have two small holes in her heart that should heal by themselves as she grows. The cardiologist does want to see Daphne when she is 2 months old just to reevaluate things. Darwin and I were very relieved to hear that news. However, since she weighs about a pound less than she should the doctors wanted her to be admitted so they could monitor her constantly. We have been told multiple things like we may able to go home for Christmas morning, she could be discharged this afternoon, and she'll be here until she gains weight. So right now we have no answers. They are also wondering if the lack of weight gain is caused by Celiac Disease, Cystic fibrosis, or high metabolism. Darwin and I really appreciate the prayers that have been said on Daphne's behalf.
8:00 PM-Thank you all for your prayers, kind words, and acts of service. Daphne was discharged a few hours ago. We are in Plain City at my parents' house. Daphne has an appointment with her pediatrician on Thursday. When we left the hospital Daphne weighed 6 pounds 7 ounces. So she gained weight while we were there. Our truck died as Darwin pulled into a parking spot at the hospital so he will be fixing that on Friday. Things didn't go as planned but there have been so many blessing come our way and we are so grateful for prayer. Merry Christmas to my family and friends. I am very blessed to know each and everyone one of you.
