Saturday 12/4 Putman5 Update

We had another ultrasound/perinatologist appointment yesterday (Friday) and everything looks as good or better than it has. Thank the Lord! We are so amazed and thankful for several things:

1) That the fluid in the stomach - hydrops - is decreasing (hooray!)

2) The mass is approx. the same

3) We only have to go in weekly (unless something changes) here on out!!

4) Our children are growing more affectionate with baby (they kiss, tickle, and pat baby voluntarily)

His mercy is new every morning, and we are especially feeling the mercy of relief right now. Moving forward, the things we are praying for are:

1) Continued reduction/elimination of the hydrops (which indicates strain on heart)

2) For the mass to begin to decrease

3) God's will in delivery (c-section vs. VBAC) - this is not affected by baby's condition, but Meg's.

4) God's will post-delivery with baby's surgery and recovery.


Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

Love,

Jeremy, Meg, Connor, Katie and Putman5 (or "baby")
