Quick Update: Amazing news from the perinatologist today as Baby Girl looks perfect and fluid levels are in the normal range! The plus is that I have been given a hospital reprieve for another three weeks as long as I don’t spring another leak – yippee!
If I do spring a leak, I’ll be admitted to Labor and Delivery emergently in order to take steps to prevent labor and infection, and remain in-patient until Baby Girl arrives.
The doctors continue to be baffled at what is going on. Baby girl’s growth is still on target…and the earliest measurement signs are positive for lung development. This means that I can continue to be treated locally and a local Level III NICU can most likely meet all our baby’s needs – what a relief!
Since I have zero sign of infection and have once again stopped leaking, I can stay at home on bed rest until something changes. At week 28, I will begin receiving steroids to boost the baby’s lung development. And at week 34 (and hopefully not before) we will meet her.
What can I even say…we are amazed, grateful, humbled and in awe of our Father who continues to sustain this little life in the face of insurmountable odds.
Thanks to each of you for your prayers, support, patience and encouragement. We still have a very long road ahead of us - but we are hopeful, encouraged and continue to have faith.
