Today's Doctor Visit

I'm tired (what's new?) so this will be a quick update!

Travis and I went to see Dr. Dhillon to see what was up with our Baby Boy B.  They were suspecting twin to twin transfusion, but in fact Dr. Dhillon found that the amniotic fluid was great, and that both twins have comparable stomachs and bladders. Dr. Dhillon told us that our boys do not have twin to twin transfusion! WOOHOO!!!! Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts.  We still need them though!!!

This is what Dr. D found...

Baby boy B has something called Intermittent AEDF (absent end diastolic flow).  This basically means that every 7-8 heart beats the blood flow from the placenta doesn't reach his heart.  This is a condition that can resolve itself potentially...so pray for that!  We will be going in every week now for him to be monitored, because if his condition turns into Persistent AEDF then other steps will have to be taken (surgery, etc.) otherwise he can develop selective growth restriction.  Selective growth restriction is basically he would stop growing.  

SO with all that being said, continue to pray for us and especially or boy Baby B.  Love you all!
