Day Three - Holding on to Hope

We are holding on to hope for Baby Wittenberg!!

We went to the doctor’s office last night. Our doctor took another ultrasound (the baby is getting used to getting its picture taken) and the heartbeat was strong (163) and it had the same amount of fluid that it had on Sunday. This is a good sign and may mean that we are not losing any more fluid. The Dr. said that we have a 14% chance that the seal will be re-sealed so we are holding on to hope. If this happens, the fluid SHOULD re-accumulate and the lungs should hopefully develop.

We will be seeing a high risk Dr. tomorrow or Thursday and seeing our regular Dr. pretty regularly.

This next week is critical. Carie Anne could go into labor at any point or develop an infection. The good news is that she woke up dry and without lower back pain.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
