Not too much new news. The mass is approx. the same size, but has some different characteristics (in case I haven't mentioned it, the mass itself is benign, but the sheer size of it is causing problems with the heart). Fluid in the abdomen is a tiny bit lower, but swelling in the head is a bit more (according to the Dr. that good news/bad news kind of "cancels out").
I go back in tomorrow so that my Doctor can examine again and brainstorm with the other fetal therapy specialist in their practice. Taking fluid out is still a possibility and were it not for the baby's ribs, arm and shoulder blade, would be a relatively easy procedure ;).
We are still thankful that it is not worse, especially given how much it had grown between 11/3 and 11/11. Praise the Lord!
