Today's appointment brings good news.

Today we had the growth scan, the fetal cardiac echo and the BPP all in one appointment! Nice to get so much done at once.

So, here is the good news. Another 8/8 on her BPP...

Growth scan puts her at 4 lbs 10 oz, give or take 5 oz, putting her in the 69%!

Fetal cardiac echo shows great blood flow to her lungs and her body, it appears she will NOT be prostoglandin dependent and the chances of her needing the stage 1 are significantly lower than even before. If anything, she *might* need a shunt to slow down her blood flow... not what we were expecting. She will still need the Glenn and Fontan procedures.The cardiologist Dr. Dummer (Sounds like doomer) was very positive about the scan and Bella's outcomes.

After speaking with both Dr. Danilenko and Dr. Dummer, it sounds like 34 weeks is a good time to have this baby. This of course is going to require input from the in house docs and the NICU docs, however, the outcome at 34 weeks looks like a positive one. I am praying that is true and that we are able to go at 34 weeks. The risk of infection is not so good with Bella's heart problems.

I have tons of pics to share when I get a chance to get them uploaded. :)
