Quick Update...Big decisions to make. Brian weighs in today.
Carie is now in her 22nd week of pregnancy. This is one step closer to viability. We are constantly amazed about the favor that God has shown upon us in this situation. It is so difficult but we have not felt His presence through it all.
Carie was able to see her regular doctor yesterday. The baby is doing great. Once again, it got some quick pictures. This visit did confirm that the amount of fluid is down again, although a speculum exam concluded that there is no ferning or pooling. I am not even sure what this means but it left me confused.
We do have an appointment with the high risk doctor on Tuesday. Due to the fact that Carie is leaking and the fluid is down, we are pretty sure that Carie will have to go into hospital for 24 hour monitoring real soon. So Carie is currently in the process of interviewing NeoNatal departments of hospitals in the Chicagoland area. We want to make that the baby gets the best care possible once it is born. If this means that we have to go downtown for this care, we will. As the baby continues to grow and the fluid remains low, it will put additional pressure on the cervix and eventually cause Carie to go into labor. (Do I sound like I know what I am talking about? It is all knowledge passed on to me by Carie)
We have some big decisions that will have to be made soon.
