At this time there really is no new news. This morning 6/23 we had a sonogram to check the baby's blood flow from Christy through the Umbilical Cord, There was IMPROVEMENT!!! Thank you Jesus. Dr. said, we are not going to take her TODAY unless something changes for the worse. However, this is going to be a day to day process of evaluation.
The Problems that are causing this are, High Blood Pressure (which we are treating by oral meds now) Hypertension, Fluid Build up in Legs and PreEclampsia, all of which would play a damaging factor in the baby's health if not properly treated. We feel that everything is going to be OK, however, they do feel that this is going to be a long hospital stay, or an early delivery, because they are planning to keep Christy here, monitoring her daily until delivery. :-(
Naomi (Christy's Sister) and I had a chance to tour the NICU today and that eased our minds a little to see that there is sucess rates as well as about 3 other very similar cases in the unit right now. We were able to see a few babies that are equivalent in size/age and they are doing just fine. Now, that doesnt mean everything is great, because, every baby and situation is different, but we are TRUSTING GOD that we will not have to Deliver, but if we do, then we do feel we are in good hands here at Clear Lake Regional. There is a 50-60% survival rate accross the country, and about a 75% survival rate here at this Hospital.
Thanks for all the Prayers, Financial Support, and the Beautiful Flower arrangements that we have recieved. I will post as soon as possible. Most updates are done by Facebook cause it's so much quicker and easier, email takes a while, and as you can tell, it might be quite LATE, if you can't tell it's like almost 2am. I'm dozing off as I try to type this. Please forgive typos!!!
Love you all,
