Joe and I headed off this AM in the mucky snowy weather. I was greatful that Joe could drive today and that it wasn't a work day. Also, greatful that Jessica took Will today.
It was a quick visit..and the doctor wasn't actually able to see us because apparently he was delivering a baby. However, they did the ultrasound and the stress test on the baby (heart beat/diagnostics) and took the info down to him. They indicated that the baby was slightly improved from where she was at last Wednesday AM. We are headed back next Tuesday for another blood transfusion and hospital stay. At this juncture we are hoping that fluid within the baby's body (around her heart,kidney and spleen) will go away since the anemia has been treated with blood transfusion. The fluid was less today and the number that represents her level of anemia was in the normal range. She will require more transfusion to keep this number in the normal range, and it will evidently take time for the fluid to diminish. We are busy trying not to "count our chickens before they hatch" but it does seem that in four short days things are moving in the right direction. I will update after our transfusion next Tuesday, when they finally let me move around a bit!
