Specialist Update

Well, Monday Chris and I went to Joplin to meet with a perinatal specialist there regarding Baby B's kidney problem. We had another ultrasound, and both girls looked the same. They were moving around like crazy. The doctor spent most of the time examining Baby B to determine if there were any other defects, which would have possibly meant a chromosome issue. But thanks to God, the kidney problem is the only thing that she has. This is not a life threatening issue, and they will not immediately have to take her to surgery when she comes out. It is just something that they will keep an eye on, and continue to make sure that her fluids stay where they need to be. We will know more several weeks after she arrives probably. So, we did not come away from Joplin knowing anymore than when we went there. I am supposed to go back in 6 weeks to see him again, however, Chris said that we are not going back. I guess it depends on how the ultrasound goes that I have with my doctor in 3 weeks. Please continue to pray for all of us as we go through the remaining part of this pregnancy. I only have 15 weeks until I am term, and I am hoping and praying that I will not have to go on bedrest or go into pre-term labor.
