Hello Friends,
I am drained. I didn't mean for that to be a pun, but I guess it is... I'll explain. This morning we went in (again =) we're at 5 out of 6 days, tomorrow makes 6 out of 7) for an ultrasound. Both the specialists within this specialty group were there today, and I had an appointment with both of them so they could brainstorm and work together (apparently this is a rare occurrence, God is really looking out for our little one). They decided to go ahead and try to drain fluid out of the cysts that are within the mass. (The mass had enlarged and the swelling in the head is still getting larger).
In this procedure, the baby got sedated (through my skin/uterus), and they drained the cysts using ultrasound guidance. They removed 38 cc of fluid (wow!!) and did a great job. They were able to get to almost all the cysts within the mass. Baby's heartbeat stayed good, and as I type I can feel him/her moving. I feel like our "sprint" is turning into a "marathon", and I pray that we would remain faithful.
I go back tomorrow to see if the cysts have refilled, measure swelling (hydrops), etc. Thank you all for your prayers. We continue to need them and the sustaining grace God is giving through them.
