HI
Everyone...,
We went for another ultrasound on Wednesday and fluid had built back up so
they had to do the amnio reduction again (another 2 liters). The
babies were very active, but it didn't look like they were sharing the blood
flow any differently than before. The
doctors gave us the option of having laser surgery in Wisconsin, but because our insurance
doesn't cover it, and because it only raises the survival percentage by 5
percent, we will most likely just keep doing the amnio reduction thing.
My next appointment is tomorrow morning at
8am
- Shelley is taking me.
I have to go every 5 days or so so the fluid doesn't get a chance to
build up too much.
We want to extend our thanks to all of you that are thinking of us.
Your prayers and well wishes mean the world to us.
I Think the prayers for our boys are traveling around the world at this
point. We are so grateful to all of
you. We're doing our best to think
positively, but we're pretty much at a stand still as far as preparing for the
babies. We're hesitant to look for a
new van, or borrow cribs or anything until they arrive.
It would kill us to have everything ready and then not come home with any
babies. Oh, we named them Benjamin
and Joshua.
Keep praying.
Love and Peace,
Lisa Cote
(we
would later learn, that our information regarding the insurance coverage and the
survival percentage increase was NOT correct...)
