We got a good report today! Luci is doing much better! She is a small baby and Dr Graves believes that she is overcompensating by sending more blood to her brain. Basically, protecting her brain and making sure it grows! Most of her amnio results were back and negative for chromosomal abnormalities and infections. There was no extra fluid around her organs and she is very active which mean it's not anemia. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease - a thyroid condition. It sounds worse than it is. I am still on bed rest, blood thinner injections, baby aspirin, 3200 mg folic acid, beta blockers and PTU for my thyroid. And, we will have weekly ultrasounds to monitor her. We are so relieved and blessed. The doctors were very confused last Tuesday and Wednesday. They, honestly, were not very hopeful either. I want to thank everyone for praying for her and our family. I think Luci is a miracle. Please continue to pray for us!
