I didn't get a chance to write on Friday. After the appointment, we were busy trying to get ready to head to Fargo for my "little" brother's wedding. It was great to see my family and so many of my friends. At times, it's overwhelming to think about all of the people thinking and praying for us and our little one. Thank you!
The mass was the same size on Friday and there was no sign of hydrops. This week, we met with Dr. Nyholm for the first time. (The clinic has 3 doctors that are on rotations between being at the hospital and clinic.) She said that at this point in the pregnancy if hydrops formed she would recommend fetal surgery to remove the CCAM rather than delivery. We feel better about having another option besides delivery at this point in the pregnancy. Unfortunately, we'd have to travel to Cincinnati, San Francisco, or Philadelphia for a center that performs fetal surgeries. Of course, if faced with this we'd have to make a tough decision about what to do.
We're thankful for each day that I'm able to carry her and she has the chance to grow.
We're back on Tuesday. I believe they are planning on doing growth measurements as well so we should know how big she's getting.
Much love,
S & S
