Well today was not very exciting, but at least we got some good food and good company! Kelly had the usual monitoring today; the heart rate "belt" and they also use a machine on every shift to check the "tone" of the heart. All is normal with the heart for now, which is always a good thing.
She also got another steroid shot and met with another high risk maternal fetal medicine doctor who gave her essentially the same information we got yesterday. He also said that we may not have a definitive answer or a plan after tomorrow but we will have more information. However, we will finally get to talk to the pediatric urologist tommorow who will be able to shed more light on the situation with the kidneys as well as answer some questions. The ultrasound will happen somewhere in the 11 - 1 timeframe, we won't know for sure until the perinatal center opens.
On a happier note, we got a lot of quality time with good friends today and my family came over for dinner with Kelly's favorite meal - pot roast and mashed potatoes! Yum! My parents have some magic ability to make that dish sing in your mouth; it is always a treat and we all got to eat together in the cafeteria. It was a nice distraction, and it is always good to spend time with them. Oh yeah, there was ice cream too! Mmmmmm....
So we should at least get a good view of the baby tomorrow and I will post again after the ultrasound. Thank you again for all of the thoughts, prayers and positive vibes. Kelly has greatly appreciated the attention she has gotten over the past couple days.
