Thank God for Ultrasound
I have a ton to write about our day at UCSF today but will just hit the highlights. I also have movers coming in a little less then 11 hours and have at least twice that many hours worth of work to get ready for them.- Maddie is progressing perfectly. 51% height/weight. Still isolated CDH. All organs look as good as can be expected. Liver still down. Right lung and heart are growing and still appear to be unaffected by the intrusion of stomach and intestine in her chest cavity.
- No Polyhydramnios. Totally normal fluid levels - i just have a big belly. Praise God!
- Met with the NICU social worker who answered almost all of our logistical questions about living in the NICU. She even gave us a sticker that helps reduce the cost of parking.
- Drank a Jamba Juice - Yum.
- Met with a Child Specialist to discuss options for Dillan while Maddie is a patient. In addition to a supervised playroom, they have some great activities for siblings. they are also available to help us with parenting advice, explains things to him and provide family counseling. Huge God Send!
- Delivery is scheduled for 10AM on Tuesday July 5th. So as long as I don't go into spontaneous labor before then, that is when Maddie will make her grand entrance.
- Had a late lunch with an amazing family. Their 2 year old is a CDH miracle and spending time with him was such an encouragement and joy for Luke and me. More on this next week.
Pictures!!!! Shes beautiful.
More later. We'll probably be offline (at least from our home computer) until mid-week but I'll write more about our lunch with M's family then and post some pictures of our new house!





She is absolutely gorgeous! I'm so happy that things are as good or better than could be expected. Love you guys!
