update:

today we saw both Zoey's cardiologist and "g.i." doctor! The best news is that we get to stop the lasix!!! This is a big celebration, as Zoey has basically been on lasix since birth! It's also just one less medication, in fact - she'll now technically only be taking one medication, for her reflux (the others are vitamins/minerals & miralax - not sure what category that falls into)! The cardiologist said, again, that there is a small amount of "leaking" but that's normal and "everything looks good". At the g.i. appt they had to use that "silver" stuff to burn off the flap of skin that seems to like to develop around the g-tube ... that's our next goal, get rid of that darn thing (but we're still using it at her last feedings of the day - as she's usually asleep) ... we go back in two months and I'd love it if at that point we were done with g-tube! He prescribed prevacid, but said it may be hard to obtain ... he said that after time the zantac loses it's affect, so that's a good switch. Zoey is growing well and is even within "normal" on the standard growth chart, however according to the dietician's calculations she should be taking in 850ml a day - whatever! So, we're going with a new minimum of 700!! I'm going to give us a few days to work up to that, though! So, that's the update on our little princess, and here's a pic - just for the heck of it:
