Sono

Well I had a sono this morning to check and Baby B and to make sure he is still growing appropriately due to all of my health crazy! He still looked great! It brought tears to me eyes this time to see him. At the last sono I had so much on my plate and was a little worried to connect with him not knowing if I would ever meet him. We got to see his little wee wee again and it makes me so excited to get some blues and greens in our life! :) I met with Dr. Amanze, one of Carle's High Risk OB doctors and she said he looked great but she did have some concern with the medication I am on. It can put him at risk for nectrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and in the NICU world that means some SCARY STUFF! To break it down it means that part of his bowel could die due to this medication I am taking. She said it was only a slight increased risk and that my benefit outweighs his risk, but right now I am just not sure about that. I called my Dr. when we got home to see if it was really worth taking this medication because most NEC cases in the NICU lead to death and it is not something they can diagnose by ultrasound so we would be waiting until he was born. As of right now, I am not taking the medication. That may seem incompliant to some of you, but I am a Mom and my children come first. I am hoping I can just go back on the medication I had planned on flushing. It would give me a little piece of mind. Our little man was weighing 1lb 6oz.....such a miracle!
