Today is 29 weeks!!! We are getting there, but def some bumps in the roads. As Mike mentioned in the last blog, we were put on an aggressive dose of Endomethecine. I completed that round this morning and saw my high risk doctor. The Ductus Arterius on both babies looked good after that round, but it seems the medicine caused Baby A (Mason's) amniotic fluid to become very very low. So, at this point, I will not be going back on that medication until at least Tuesday when they see me again and his fluid is built up again.
I am now in a private room thank God!! Mom is here for the day which is great not only bc i love her company but bc she is keeping Mike from googling every possible thing that can go wrong. She even made to have the doctor reassure him that googling every possible outcome is not healthy! lol.
Our main concern at this point, is that being off of this medication my body goes into labor. There is nothing at this point they can do to stop it if it does happen.
We requested the NICU team to come talk to us so we will be prepared for what will happen if they are born today. Basically, they will be born...they will live. There are of course different scenarios that could happen, but you don't know that until the babies are born and evaluated.
Thanksgiving was a hit! Mom and dad cooked at our house and then delivered us our food, we ate, and then they came with dessert. The boys were happy!! They were so active yesterday. I think we are going to have some good eaters on our hands. :)
Thank you for thinking of us!
Shannon and Mike
You are just amazing! You have such a positive attitude. I am thinking of you as you wait and hope to hold on to the boys a little longer. It is reassuring to know that they have such a strong future even if born today, but still so nerve-wracking. I am wishing you peace and continued strength to make it through these last weeks! :)
