Good Report

Today's appointment went really well!!

The docs said that Emma is now only about 1 week behind in growth, back up from 2.5 weeks. This is a great thing.

Also my amniotic fluid had been low and that too was back to normal.

The doctors were really pleased and much less concerned about her. They also said the intestines look good and if she stays on track they wouldn't expect her to come out before 37 weeks!!

We are so pleased and we know this is an answer to much prayer - there is no medical explanation for why she would have caught up!

They are going to do some extra tests on the amnio sample, to rule out any extra genetic conditions, but after today the doctor said he thinks the diagnosis "is a small baby with gastroschisis"!!

Our next appointment is at CHOP in two weeks. Watch this space!!
