Hi everyone!
We had a good appointment today for Rory! Here are a few things we learned...
1. She is about 3 pounds!!! (She gained almost a pound over the last two weeks which is great progress!)
2. She is in the 47th percentile for size (Davis was lucky when he was in the 10th percentile so she is smokin' him in the growth department so far!)
3. Her intestines look the same as they did 2 weeks ago which is good news because it means they are not worse...things can change very quickly with her intestines but we will take good news whenever we can!
4. A ventricle in her brain looked a little off but the doctor assured us that this is fairly common and not to be alarmed but they will check on it again next appointment...just something to pray about.
5. I am really thrilled because our doctor is hoping to conduct a study with his colleagues on potential causes of gastroschisis and asked us to be a part of it!
6. Rory's intestines are not pulling on her other organs so far like it was in Davis' case.
7. I will start fetal monitoring with my next ultrasound/consult appointment on June 16th.
Thank you for your prayers!
Awww, her picture is so cute! :) Praying for you all!
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful! I love this picture! Gramma Shan can't wait to meet you, Rory Elizabeth!!! <3
ReplyDeleteThat is all good news indeed! Praise The Lord!
ReplyDeleteThat precious little face already looks like both Daddy and Mommy!! Praying for you all. You've been especially on my mind these past few days with Daniel having surgery done through his belly button...and spending time in the pediatric ward of the hospital...a new empathy with what y'all have gone and are going through...and many continued prayers!
