After the long arduous task of WAITING to actually get our ultrasound (Lacey made 2 bathroom trips) we finally got in. Lacey had been dreading this so badly, I practically had to drag her butt to the doctor. "No bad news, mom, NO bad news, I want to have a good time away with Brad". SOOOO, God heard that. Heard it BIG. I know you are wanting me to get to the good stuff, but we had to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait.., so I'm letting you feel our pain..... hee hee....OK, I'll stop. People, friends, and loved ones, Smidge's heart is perfect. Let that sink in. Perfect. Doc's words "The condition I saw last ultrasound has resolved itself, this heart is perfect". Not unlike God's grace, huh???????????????? His words "The condition we saw last time....gone." Lacey wasted no time informing him of the change in the prayer venue. "We've focused on her heart this last wave of prayer". His response "It worked." SO, on to prayer for her fluid on her brain, and continued growth.
We enjoyed her soo much today. She kept pushing her hand to the screen to wave, (we got several pics of that precious hand), I just love it...... her growth is to 23 weeks, exactly where she has been, weighs a whopping 1 lb 11 oz., and Lacey's fluid is up to a precious 9!
Doc told us that because her fluid is so low, that the doppler on the ultrasound reads through the fluid and her measurements might be off a bit. He is super encouraged, read an article this past week about similar cases with fluid on the brain, and 25% of those kids are perfectly normal with normal IQ's. He said that figure blew him away, it was so much higher than he thought would be possible. He cautions us to remember that she could deliver early and we need to keep in the back of our minds that if she stops thriving, we will need to deliver her -- Then says almost simultaneously "But this baby keeps surprising us" -- HELLO. That's Lolly's girl in there. That's God's precious miracle. That's unwavering faith that God is a supreme God and He knows everything and there are no mistakes in His plan. We go back in 3 weeks for another ultrasound, we are to the amazing 28 week mark, with less than 90 days to go. As we continue to pray, let's focus on her growth and her brain fluid. We got that heart deal kicked out of the running. Keep on praying, sweet wonderful friends, because God is Good, all the time.
