We braved the blizzard to venture out for my doppler ultrasound today. It was worth the trip to hear another great report. We're still on that "steroid honeymoon," so the blood flow is looking great. The doctor today said he has seen the good effects last for up to three weeks; his partner had told us up to one week, so this was exciting to hear. We're praying for the good effects to continue.
We received the final report of our amniocentesis, and it confirmed everything was negative with the chromosomes (including all the rare deletions/insertions), and no infections. That means, other than the IUGR (growth restriction), the baby looks great! We are so thankful!
Check out this video a friend shared with me (click on the link below). It seems to be the same thing we're dealing with, and it gives us an idea of what our baby would have looked like had he been born two weeks ago when this all started. It starts out sad but has a happy ending.
