Welcome to #HeartMonth day 4. Over the past 5 years, Ellie has been on and off and on again a number of meds. I remember having to give her lovenox injections twice a day for the first 7 months of her life. Her little thighs where we gave the shots were bruised and knotted. When we first started the injections, she cried and cried barley consolable tears, but after 7 months, she never even flinched. I remember when she was on a beta blocker for her tachycardia and having to time absolutely everything around those meds (she needed them every 6 hours day and night). Things are easier now with only 2 medications on board every day, but that, as well as everything else is subject to change with #CHD. #CHDAware
