Monday Appointment Update

So not to hold back....yesterday was horrible!

We arrived at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) at 6:45am and left at 6:45pm and the entire time was in appointments of some kind. I had an MRI for over an hour...that was horrific....then a three hour sonogram which involves lots of pushing on my abdomen. We then met with a specialist who gave us very difficult news. They needed to remove the fluid from the baby's chest pretty much immediately because it was pushing the heart to one side and deflating one of his lungs.

They could not give me any medication as they pushed the needle to my belly and then into the baby. I am a massive chicken but I survived and it did not start labor. I got shots, blood work and they did another electrocardiogram on the baby for over an hour.

We will be getting results back from the fluid in the next few days. They are trying to determine why this is happening. It could be genetic, a virus, an infection, etc. We are begging God that the fluid will not return and that our little one is completely normal in all ways, mentally and physically.

Pray for Corey as he is flying everyday now. Pray for peace and for safety.

Pray for me as I undergo more testing today and tomorrow.

Pray for our sweet baby. We want the best for him, whatever that is. We want God to show us His healing power and His supernatural peace.

There are many, many decisions to make and that is very overwhelming in the midst of so much.

I appreciate the prayers and emails. It means a lot.
