4 year checkup and Cpap update

Daddy took Karli for her 4 year checkup today.  She's 36 lbs. and 38 inches!  Everything else was good, but she was not cooperative at all for Daddy.  In fact, she's been pretty grouchy and defiant this week.  They did a urinalysis as part of her well visit and it turns out she has a bad UTI.  We had NO idea.  I feel like such a bad mommy!  Now I know why she's been so grouchy!  Poor baby.  We got an antibiotic so hopefully it will clear this up quickly for her.  Thank goodness for her checkup today or who knows how bad it could have gotten before we knew what was going on.  

On a much brighter note, as I type this Karli is asleep in her room and is wearing her Cpap!!!!!!  I'm trying not to get too excited too fast, but I can't help it!  I'm SOOOO excited!

Wow!! I'm mucho impressed. We see cardiology on Tuesday and depending on Darah's PH, we may have to try to push D's bipap again...which means you'll be hearing from me! I'd love another update on how she's doing with the cpap!
