The good and the bad...

So, we have another ultrasound. The results show the fluid around her heart is gone! But that means she is not anemic. So what is causing her heart to still be enlarged and blood flow thru her brain to be so high? The doctors are stumped. All the partners huddle with their computers trying to solve the mystery. But they agree that a blood transfusion may not be needed and is too risky to do if not absolutely needed. It could be fatal to an already unhealthy baby. A little bit more good news is my blood work is negative for the infections so the baby more than likely is too. But, results won't be back until Monday. They are also waiting on more test results from less common chromosomal abnormalities. Yuck - I thought we were past that!! The doctor also tells us the high rate of blood flow could cause brain damage. So they decided to test my blood for every blood clotting disorder and blood antibody possible. They take about 8 or more viles of blood. They have put me on bed rest. I have to take 1 baby aspirin, 3200 mg of folic acid and inject myself once a day with a blood thinner. We are praying for another miracle and this all works. Luci has been a fighter so far. We pray that she continues to fight.
