Today left us with more of the same, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Every appointment that goes by with no hydrops is a good one. The doctors think the mass has plateaued. We are hoping that it will shrink and allow some room for her lungs to grow, but it will take some time. As we go forward, we will make plans with the prenatal doctors and surgeons at the U of M on what needs to be done for Baby Z when she is born. There are so many variables though we holding off until we know more. For now, every week she stays where she is a blessing as she gets bigger and stronger.
If everything goes well on Friday's appointment we are heading to San Francisco for a little relaxation. Hopefully this will be the last post until next Wednesday's appointment.
Thanks to all for reading and sending prayers and good karma our way, it means the world to us!

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteContinued prayers for decrease in size and no hydrops. You are reaching a point in her development where brain bleeds are less likely to develop should she need to be born premature. Every week is such a gift!!!
