Pedicatric Cardiology Visit

Jan 2, 2015--Today was our weekly pedicatric cardiology visit for the Echo ultrasound of the baby's heart.  The doctor told us that the heart is looking unchanged over the past 2 weeks.  If anything he thought some of the doppler readings might have even looked better.  The doppler readings look at the blood flow in various vessels.  Some vessels have always looked normal (like the umbilical cord) and some are abnormal which they are always monitoring.  While the doppler readings are still not NORMAL he did use the word "BETTER" and that was really encouraging to hear since we haven't heard that word yet!  "Stable" and "Better" are two words we love to hear right now because that means our baby girl is staying put and continuing to be a fighter!!
Baby is just days away from being at 34 weeks which is when we can start to feel more confident about her well-being should she have to come early.
