CHEESE!!!
Why is Henry smiling at us?(In case you could not see the smile -- I pointed it out for you below)
Because he knows what fun we are in for!
During my appointment today, the doctor let me know that his kidney's are progressively dilating. He is sending me to a specialist next week, who will help determine the severity, and also a plan of action (if necessary). Henry is also measuring big -- which is no shocker to me -- but his stomach is a little bloated. As it stands now, he is measuring about a week ahead of schedule. Henry may be a whopper, like Daniel (Dan was over 9lbs, a few weeks early).
Anyway, I don't know much more than I knew before -- but I should know more next week after talking to someone who specializes in this kind of thing. Of course, the kidneys could still correct themselves . . . in or out of the womb.
The doctor mentioned a possibility of early delivery, for the health of the baby -- about a month early, or so. Only time well tell. For now, I will be visiting the doctor every two weeks to keep an eye on things.
When I first found out over a month ago, a Voice whispered to me, "It will be hard, but it will be OK, don't worry." So, I'm not worried. This is NOT supposed to be life-threatening, or anything -- it just adds some adventure to the pregnancy and birthing process. There is a very likely chance that all will be well. Worst case is that it may take some corrective procedures to get there.
We hope for the best. Come what may . . . and love it. :-)
Let us know what happens next week.
ReplyDeletewow....love your attitude! wish i could take things in stride as easily and with as much grace as you do. :) henry is in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm good today, Erin . . . I had brownies. :-) Don't let me fool you though, there were silent tears. Sometimes you just have to put on your big-girl panties . . . or as someone I know often says, "Suck it up!" ;-) wink! Thanks again for getting my kids!!!
