Little Rose,
We finally had an appointment that wasn’t worse news than the previous one! We had an ultrasound and Dr. Lee came and met with us afterward. He let us know that the hydrops that had been noticed the week before was not as bad as he initially thought, nor as bad as he has seen in other babies with heart failure. He also thought that in comparison with last week the fluid around your heart actually looked like it was less than the previous week. You are a trooper! You moved a ton for the ultrasound tech, and have continued to move a lot.
Dr. Lee got to talk with Dr. Chang after our last appointment and they discussed more of the game plan for your delivery. Dr. Chang would prefer you be at least 2500 grams and you are currently 1800. We will get to check on you again in a week, and measure your weight again in two weeks. At that point we will only be two weeks from week 36. I can’t believe how quickly things are going, and how soon we will see your sweet face!
