Thankful for Miracles
I am calling it a miracle, because to me it is. We had our perinatology appointment today. The tech was scanning, and she has not seen us in a few weeks. So she was shocked to see such little fluid. Dr. S. came in and scanned, and was just amazed. The right side of the chest has barely anything, a teeny tiny pocket of fluid at the front of the chest, so small it really is next to nothing (especially comparing the amount it had just last week.) The left still has a bit, but there is shunt in place to drain, so we are not concerned. I still have to go twice a week, but he says that if things continue to look as good as they are (or dare I say better?) that we are looking toward delivering at the full-term mark!!! I am so excited, still nervous, but excited!!! I am 28 weeks and 3 days. I delivered Lilly at 37 weeks and 5 days, and delivered Ryker at 37 weeks and 1 day. 37 weeks is full-term, so if I could get our baby to anything past we would just be thrilled!!! We have been so nervous the last five weeks, and cannot even believe how different our baby's lungs look from than till now. I cannot think it is anything less than a miracle to get to where we are. We just pray things continue to look as good. So thank-you for the prayers. This little boy is a fighter. He still has a road, but at least he is moving in the right direction. :)

What wonderful news!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGod is with you in the difficult days and in the miraculous days, but boy, I LOVE ME some miraculous days ;) Thank you God and thanks for sharing Emily!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's cause we are preggers at the same time, or maybe it's cause I feel helpless for words and action... But, I am sitting here just bawling happy tears for you. I know there is still much to be worried about. Just know I think of you often and my prayers include your little family...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this journey has made you appreciate everyday and all the "small stuff". Praying for NO FLUID at the next scan. It was one of the best days of my life when Irelyn was declared clear of fluid! Take care and enjoy your good news.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that -- you deserve a few miracles!
