Kelly had a follow up ultrasound this morning and the results are encouraging! The amniotic fluid is still "normal" and the bladder looks to be about 1/3rd the size is has been in the past. Also, the shunt is still in the bladder so they refer to it in medical terms as a "functional shunt," which is our new favorite phrase. The other contenders were "good prognosis," "favorable outlook," and "cautiously optimistic." All things we have liked to hear over the last couple weeks!
The next ultrasound is next Friday (Jan 16th), and this will include another amniotic fluid check and a follow up visit with the pediatric cardiologist. The first visit with him went very well and he found nothing unusual, but he wanted to follow up in six weeks to make sure the little dude is developing normally. We may post more before then, but that is the next time we will get more information on the condition of the baby...
