11/12 Putman5 Update

We had a followup ultrasound and appointment this morning. The Doctor was glad that it hadn't gotten worse overnight and said that's what she was hoping for. If it can stay the same size, and the fluid (hydrops) does not get worse then we will just wait and see what the steroids do. The fluid is currently in the abdomen and swelling in the head, but no fluid around the heart. There is also not "backflow" from vessels around the heart which is another sign of heart problems.

We will go back again for sure on Saturday and Monday (Lord willing not Sunday, but it looks like each appointment will determine the next step).

We are thankful to lean on, and drink from, the rock that is Christ. 'tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to know "thus sayeth the Lord".

We may not post tomorrow unless something changes at that appointment. Thank you for your prayers and support. Sending our love,

Meg (for all of us)
