Hi All -- Today we're back making the rounds of medical tests -- Ultrasounds, Echo cardiograms, the works. It's a very similar schedule to the horrible day of testing we had last week, and to tell the truth, I'm pretty skittish. Every appointment is scary to me. (Matt is much braver.) In addition, at each appointment they go over what happened... "Oh, you have TTTS?" "And, one baby 'had a demise'?" "Which baby had the demise?" Not pleasant. Then at the end of the day we have (for me) the dreaded doctors consultation, where they give you the collected findings of all the tests. It was so awful the last time, I really don't want to go back. Cross your fingers.
However, on a VERY GOOD note, we just finished the first appointment - an ultrasound. Bea looks great. She was dancing and annoying the doctors as always! Even better, the report they gave us to give to the other doctors (yeah, I peaked) says she is normal in every way. Heart rate - normal. Doppler -normal. Aminotic fluid - normal. Etc. Seeing the word "normal" tons of times on a page feels like winning the lottery. The walls of her heart are still thickened, but it is now beating normally. They say she is like a weightlifter who has been working her heart muscle really hard - it will gradually go back to normal now that it isn't under the stress.
We'll let you know how things turn out. We might be coming home tomorrow!!
More later,
Melissa
