Hello Everyone!
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers... keep them coming! My ultrasound today showed that the right kidney is VERY full of fluid (3/4ths filled) and the left kidney has 2x as much fluid as it is supposed to. The specialist is going to continue to monitor it 8 weeks from now and then again at 36 weeks. If it doesnt resolve itself prior to delivery they will probably have to perform surgery shortly after birth to remove the blockage. Another thing they are a bit concerned about is the possiblity of her having down syndrome... Due to my age and the fact that many of these kids have kidney issues - I had the screening blood test done today and I go on Dec. 30th for an amino... I am SCARED TO DEATH about having the amino done - Me and needles don't mix, but my husband is the one that is insisting that the amino be done. To me, I will love her no matter what so I dont feel like I have to know ahead of time about this. I guess it is just something else for me to worry about. I will keep everyone posted and what is going on with us.
Thanks,
Cindy
