I'm happy to hear that your baby is doing better today, but so sad to hear about her being in congestive heart failure. My Kiwi was almost ten when she was diagnosed with CHF due to mitral valve prolapse. We were able to get her out of CHF, and she started to do much better, but unfortunately she couldn't handle enalapril, which started to damage her kidneys in a very short time. We had to flush her kidneys out daily for weeks, and we were hoping to try her on an herbal heart remedy once she was stronger. It's a great sign that Abby is eating already; that made me so happy to read. Kiwi didn't want to eat while on Lasix either, and she was my very best eater who savored every bite. Ashley was diagnosed with an enlarged heart at the age of ten, but the results of her echocardiogram were almost normal. Still, after experiencing what we had with Kiwi, it terrified me to put her on enalapril, and we also thought she wouldn't live a long life because of it. She did fine on enalapril and lived for seven more years, even with the enlarged heart. Their doctor specializes in both conventional and alternative medicine, and we had huge success with Ashley when we used one of his heart formulas on her. He reviewed Ashley's x-rays with me each time, and I saw with my own eyes how much it helped her heart, and I could also tell by the fact that Ashley was still very active and still walking a couple of miles a day, even at almost seventeen. Her heart and lungs certainly became very strong with all of her exercise, and she loved her walks. You and your baby will be in my prayers. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this with her. |
