A Plan of Sorts

So after talking with our perinatologist this afternoon (who truly is just really wonderful) we have decided to try and drain some of the fluid off of this little guy's lungs. He talked with some of his colleagues and they feel like this would be the best next step since we currently do not know what the cause of the Hydrops is. I am going in bright and early on Friday. It will be approached much like an amniocentesis, something that is not comfortable and that I do not look forward to.  We had an ultrasound today and I have not heard the official report but from I could tell, there was more fluid around the lungs. We are not sure how long this will work, and we may have to have it done again. But we do feel like this is the best step to allow for lung development and that it will buy us some time for this little guy to grow. We are praying it works, because doing this procedure does make us nervous. The general feeling is that the benefits do outweigh the risks, so we turn it over to God's hands and the hands of our doctor. I will have to take it easy and rest, but we will update as to how it went. I am not sure where we go from this, but it is at least something for now. Can you tell I am a bit nervous?
